Not the Card Thapar Wanted in the Window
Level 29
: Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
The action folded all the way to Devesh Thapar on the button who opened before Sergei Gurin moved all in from the small blind.
It was back on Thapar who snap called and the cards hit their backs.
Sergei Gurin: A♥K♣ 
Devesh Thapar: K♠K♥
Thapar needed to fade the ace but unfortunately, it was right in the window on the A♦7♠8♥ flop. The Q♦ turn and 4♣ river did not bring the help he needed an the two players essentially swapped stacks. Thapar still sits will almost 19 big blinds despite the loss.
