Somasekhar Sanampuri Knocks Out a Player

Level 9: 800 / 1,600 ante: 1,600
Sanampuri Somasekhar,

Somasekhar Sanampuri raises from the hijack to 3,200, Siarhei Chudapal calls from the cutoff, and the player in the small blind moves all in for 44,000. Sanampuri calls, and Chudapal folds.


The small blind turns over 5♦ 5♣ , and needs to improve to stay alive against Sanampuri's A♠ A♣ .


The board comes 8♦ 6♦ 4♥ 8♥ Q♦ , and the small blind flops a gutshot straight draw, but improves no further. Sanampuri wins the pot with his pocket aces to eliminate his opponent.
