Desai Makes a Big Laydown

Level 13 : 1,000/2,000, 200 ante

With the flop showing {9-Clubs}{J-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}, Trushang Desai checked and Alex Rivera bet 7,000. The player in Seat 9 called, and action was back on Desai, who check-raised to 18,500. Rivera responded with a three-bet to 38,100, and Seat 9 got out of the way.

Desai thought it over for about a minute before folding {J-Clubs}{10-Hearts} face up.

Rivera called us over to show his {K-Spades}{Q-Clubs}. The big fold by Desai likely saved him his entire stack.
