High-stakes poker showdowns set for Los Angeles in February 2026
Two high-stakes poker matches will take place in Los Angeles next February, featuring some of the game's biggest names. The games will air live on Hustler Casino Live's YouTube channel, with Alex Foxen, Kristen Foxen, Nik Airball, Ethan 'Rampage' Yau, and Mariano Grandoli all confirmed to play. Both events begin at 5:30 PM PT, offering fans a rare chance to watch elite players compete in real time. The first match on February 13, 2026, pits Nik Airball against Alex Foxen in a $25/$50/$100 No-Limit Hold'em game. Airball brings over 1,300 hours of high-stakes experience and $4.2 million in livestream profits to the table. Foxen, meanwhile, has $54 million in live tournament earnings and holds two WSOP bracelets—from 2019 and 2022—as well as a WPTDeepStacks title. Despite his success, Foxen is down $3 million in livestream play, largely from appearances on Triton Poker.
The following day, February 14, Airball will face Kristen Foxen in a $100/$200 NLH game. Kristen Foxen has $13.4 million in tournament cashes and five GPI Female Player of the Year awards. Her livestream record stands at $325,000 in profits across 47 hours. Both games will also include Ethan 'Rampage' Yau and Mariano Grandoli, adding further depth to the line-up.
The matches will be broadcast live from Los Angeles, giving viewers a front-row seat to high-level poker action. With millions in earnings and years of experience between them, the players are set to deliver intense competition. Fans can watch both events unfold on Hustler Casino Live's YouTube channel.
