Rahul Bhatia Falls to Kunal Patni

"Better to be lucky than good," Kunal Patni jokes after sending Rahul Bhatia to the rail, adding he had just picked up three big hands in a row. The last one is a classic flip with the 6♠ 6♣ for Bhatia and A♦ Q♣ for Patni.
There is no help on the flop and turn, but the Q♠ river pairs up Patni.

Abhijith Cheruku Takes From Kunal Patni

Heads-up to the K♥ 3♥ 3♣ 6♠ turn, Abhijith Cheruku checks and then calls a bet worth 5,500 by Kunal Patni. He checks the 5♣ on the river and Patni double-checks his cards, then knuckles it back.
Cheruku flips over 6d6c[/pc6 for sixes full of treys and Patni rolls his eyes visibly.
