Don't Ship It to Vivek

Vivek Rajkumar
Vivek Rajkumar
Vivek Rajkumar has quietly accumulated a stack today but just suffered a big setback. Things started with a raise to 800 by James Akenhead. Two players in middle position, including Will Ma, called the raise.

Action passed to Rajkumar in the small blind. He tossed 4,200 chips into the middle of the table. After the big blind folded, Akenhead warily eyed Rajkumar and his stack before putting a matching call in front of his cards. He must have been surprised to then see the first middle position player move all in for 11,950.

Will Ma got the message and dumped his hand. Rajkumar, however, responded by moving all in himself for 35,250 total. Akenhead seemed to consider a call but thought better and folded, finally taking us to a showdown.

Rajkumar: {A-Spades} {k-Diamonds}
Opponent: {A-Hearts} {A-Clubs}
Board: {3-Hearts} {3-Clubs} {K-Spades} {6-Spades} {Q-Spades}

There was no bad beat to be found for Rajkumar; his stack fell to about 23,000 with the loss.
