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.

Andhoko double checks his cards on the 2♦ two times and then bets 15,000, Johnson folds.
One hand later, Johnson opens to 400 and Ahuja three-bets to 1,400 for three opponents to call. They check to the J♥ 2♠ 2♥ 8♠ turn on which Rahul Bhatia bets1,700 in the small blind. Only Ahuja calls and they check the 5♦ river.
Bhatia tables 9♦ 8♦ and wins the pot.
