Updated Counts in the Field

Level 14: 2,500 / 5,000 ante: 5,000

Before their table breaks, Marc Joseph tangles with Sho Homma and they create a pot of nearly 150,000 to the 5♣ 4♥ 2♣ 8♥ 9♥ river. Homma checks and Joseph bets 100,000 with only a few chips behind. The snap fold follows and they head different ways soon after.

Rahul Bhatia Falls to Kunal Patni

Level 10: 1,000 / 2,000 ante: 2,000

Rahul Bhatia

"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

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.
