Fanilkumar Patel

On the turn, with the board reading 9d8c3d6d, Louis Chandler moved all in for about 140,000 from the big blind and a player in the lojack thought for a while before he moved all in for about 160,000.

Fanilkumar Patel moved all in as well for about 150,000 and all three hands were tabled.

Patel turned over Kd4d, good for the second-nut flush, the lojack tabled 6c6h, good for a set of sixes and Chandler was drawing dead with 8-7.

Patel needed to fade a board pairing river to scoop a massive pot and eliminate Chandler, which he did when the 4c came on the end. Chandler was eliminated in 41st place for $5,820.

Fanilkumar Patel – 520,000
Louis Chandler – Eliminated

Ray Qartomy

Alex Keating raised to 8,000 from under the gun and Aditya Prasetyo called on his direct left. Ray Qartomy three-bet to 31,000 from the cutoff and only Prasetyo called.

The flop was Ah8s3c and Prasetyo checked. Qartomy bet 31,000 and Prasetyo called. The turn was the 5c and Prasetyo checked again. Qartomy bet about 80,000 and Prasetyo folded.

The entire table began claiming that it was “obvious” that Qartomy was bluffing with Keating being one of the louder voices. Qartomy tossed his cards face down to Keating to look at.

“For me?” asked Keating. Qartomy nodded it was.

Keating looked at Qartomy’s cards and then exposed the Js9s.

Ray Qartomy – 450,000
Aditya Prasetyo – 240,000
