Patel Takes Three-Bet Pot as Davenport on the Rise
Level 14
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Robert Douras opened the action with a raise to 12,000 in the hijack. James Alner called in the cutoff before big blind Darshan Patel squeezed in a three-bet to 42,000.
Douras called, while Alner opted to get out of the way. Patel continued with a bet of 40,000 on the 7♠9♦3♦ flop, which Douras called. Patel sized up to 85,000 on the Q♠ turn, this time seeing his opponent fold.
Sinead Davenport, meanwhile, had grabbed the chip lead at the table as she neared half a million.
