Nick Palma’s $235K Blowup on Hustler Casino Live: Trash Talk Turns to Heartbreak

The latest Hustler Casino Live stream delivered all the fireworks poker fans could hope for. What began as a night of swagger and smack talk ended in disaster for Nick Palma, who went from running hot to busting big as his table rivals — including Martin Kabrhel, Turbo, and Nik “Nik Airball” Arcot — got the last laugh in a $100/$200 high-stakes cash game.

Heated Words and a Hot Start

Palma, fresh off his first WSOP bracelet win, came into Wednesday’s session confident and vocal. The early table chatter quickly turned tense when Hustler regular Turbo poked fun at Palma for being “too tight” after skipping a straddle, a jab echoed by Arcot. Palma snapped back immediately.

“Be careful what you’re talking,” he warned. “Just watch what you’re saying out of your mouth. I would’ve walked here to play with you. Anywhere you play, I’ll play.”

Moments later, Palma made his point at the felt, pulling off a bold $10,000 bluff on a 2♥2♣9♦8♣ board to force Peter off top pair and scoop the pot with king-high. “If you guys are talking all this sh**, I’m going to f***ing destroy you,” he said triumphantly.

Verbal Warfare with Kabrhel

The energy at the table spiked again when Martin Kabrhel, infamous for his antics during the 2025 WSOP, joined the banter. “You invited this clown?” Kabrhel asked Arcot, motioning toward Palma.

“You’re right in my face,” Palma shot back. “You’re not calling me a clown right in my grill. So shut up. Straight up. Don’t worry, Martin, you’re going to learn with the rest of the table today.”

Arcot piled on, saying, “Buddy, you talk a lot for a guy that plays no hands.”

Palma, a veteran pro with $3.3 million in Hendon Mob earnings, has never shied away from confrontation — just earlier this month, he clashed with Mariano Grandoli over slow play during another Hustler session.

Six-Figure Swings

The night was packed with huge pots, including a dramatic moment when Big Mike’s aces were cracked in a three-way all-in after Henry spiked a set of sixes. Palma seemed to turn his night around when he scooped a monster pot holding quad queens against Henry, pushing his profit to over $60,000.

But poker can be cruel — and Palma’s fortunes flipped fast.

In one of the final hands, Pipi opened to $2,000 with Q♠10♠, Palma called from the hijack with A♦J♦, and Nik Airball joined with A♣6♣. Big Mike woke up in the big blind with Q♦Q♣ and raised to $10,000. Both Pipi and Palma called to see a 10♥2♣J♠ flop.

Palma flopped top pair but was crushed by Big Mike’s queens. After calling a $20,000 bet on the flop, he faced a $50,000 barrel on the 8♦ turn. “This is going to suck, I’m all-in,” Palma said before shoving his remaining stack. Big Mike snap-called.

Palma had already unhooked his mic before the river hit — the 4♥ sealed his fate and sent the $235,000 pot to Big Mike, who ended the session up $93,700.

Turbo Takes the Crown

While Big Mike booked a solid win, the biggest score of the night belonged to Turbo, who finished up $434,900 — and landed the night’s final jab. As Palma walked off set, Turbo smirked and said, “You made a lot of bad decisions today, but that was a great decision to play one more round.” For once, Palma had no response.

Even after Palma’s exit, the table couldn’t resist one last round of jokes. “Well, I think it was a great result in the end,” Kabrhel laughed, while Arcot added, “I’ll bet any amount of money he’ll never play a big game here again. Too fing annoying and too fing nitty.”

The chaotic stream was classic Hustler Casino Live — big pots, bigger egos, and a night of high-stakes drama that poker fans won’t soon forget.
