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.

Level 6: 400 / 800 ante: 800
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.
