Tens Continue to Haunt Patel
Level 3
: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Jordan Whitehead made a big open-raise to 2,500 under the gun. A.S. three-bet to 10,000 in the next seat over, which Darshan Patel cold-called in the hijack. Whitehead also came along, and the 6♥5♦Q♠ flop was fanned.
A.S. continued for 11,000. Patel called before Whitehead reluctantly check-folded. A.S. then checked the 2♠ turn over to Patel, who promptly moved all in. A.S. snap-called for 29,500, putting himself at risk.
A.S.: A♦A♣ 
Darshan Patel: 10♦10♣
No ten appeared on the river this time, as the 3♣ completed the board. A.S.'s aces held for a full double-up, leaving Patel with around eight big blinds on his second bullet.
