Thakkar Runs Into Souki's Set to Become First to Bust
Level 2
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
Vatsal Thakkar bet 9,000 from the cutoff on a flop of K♣2♠6♣ before Philippe Souki raised to 26,500 in the big blind. Thakkar then moved all in for 70,000, and Souki snap-called.
Vatsal Thakkar: 7♣7♦
Philippe Souki: 6♦6♠
Souki had flopped a set to take a big lead in the pot, and Thakkar couldn't catch up on the Q♠ turn or 5♥ river as he became the first elimination of the tournament.
