Darak's River Barrel Works
Xin Ann Lim opened to 300 from under the gun and received two callers in Rahul Darak on the button and Vineet Kumar from the big blind.
The flop came down K♠ 9♦ 5♣ , and all three players checked. The turn brought the Q♥ , and once again it was checked around.
The T♣ peeled off on the river. Kumar and Lim checked to Darak, who changed his strategy and fired out 900. Darak's bet prompted two folds from his opponent and he pulled the pot.
