Big Back-to-Back Hands for Challagundla

Kolaxis got it in good and the flop gave him both an open-ended straight and flush draws. However, the turn paired Challagundla and the river failed to help Kolaxis to send him out the door.

In the very next hand, Michael Mattingly raised to 6,500 from the hijack and Challagundla three-bet all in for 33,400. Both blinds folded and Mattingly snap-called.
