Championship Warm Up ($600)

A player from utg+2 opens to 6,000 and India’s Sumit Sapra 3-bets to 19,000 from the hijack. From the cutoff, however, Shane Pearce of Australia goes for a 4-bet shove for his remaining 66,000. The original raiser folds and Sapra—who barely covers Pearce—makes the call.

Pearce shows K♦ K♥ while a disgruntled Sapra tables J♣ J♠ .

The runout provided no sweat for the Australian: 7♦ 6♣ 9♦ 9♠ 5♣ .

Sapra’s stack has now fallen below 20,000.

With the action folded to the blinds, India’s Sumit Sapra makes his stand and shoves his dwindling stack of 19,000 from the sb. He gets a customer in Shane Pearce of Australia in the bb.

Sapra tables K♦ J♥ while Pearce finds himself dominated, holding Q♣ J♣ .

The runout goes: T♥ 7♥ J♠ 3♠ 4♦ as the Indian still has a pulse after a fortuitous double up.
