Championship Day 3: Raghavan Doubles Through Pillai

$3,500 WPT Seminole Hard Rock Poker Showdown Championship
Level 24: 12,000/24,000/4,000 Ante

A short-stacked Ravi Raghavan moved all in for 271,000 total and it was folded to Shankar Pillai who also moved all in. The rest of the table folded and the two were off to the races with Raghavan holding 8d8c and Pillai AhQh.

The flop brought a little something for everyone as it came Kh8h6s to give Raghavan a set of eights but he wasn’t out of the woods yet as Pillai flopped the nut flush draw. The turn was the 7s, changing nothing. The river was the 6c giving Raghavan a full house and a double up to 610,000 in chips. Pillai dropped to 250,000 with that loss.
