Rishi Mehra Barely Breathing

Rishi Mehra

Flight B PokerStars Red Dragon (PHP 25M GTD)

Blinds: 300/600 Ante 600 (Level 6)


With a severely depleted stack, Rishi Mehra pushed all-in for 3,600 from UTG+2 and was called by Ha Eun Jeong at the small blind.


Jeong spiked a two on the river, but not enough to beat the pocket sailboats of Mehra, who doubled up, but is still in dire straits.

Both players checked and entred a 9 on the turn. Patterson bet out 2,300 and was called by Jeong to be shown a J river. Patterson bet out 5,000 and Jeong called.


Patterson showed a top pair with the King, but Jeong did better with his pair King coming with another pair.
