Pranav Bhatt Eliminated in 16th Place (A$17,600)

Dan O'Hair

Level 23 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Pranav Bhatt shoved for his last 705,000 from early position and it was folded to Romain Morvan, who called from the small blind to put Bhatt at risk.

Pranav Bhatt: 7♣7♦ All in
Romain Morvan: 9♥9♣

Bhatt would need a lot of help with his lower pair, but the 4♥10♥4♦Q♠2♠ runout changed nothing — eliminating Bhatt in 16th place.

Level 22 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Kahle Burns shoved from the small blind and after having the clock called on him, Romain Morvan dropped in his stack of 375,000 from the big blind.

Romain Morvan: 9♥9♣ All in
Kahle Burns: Q♣7♠

Morvan was miles ahead and all but sealed the deal on the K♦9♦4♠ flop as he made middle set. No running cards appeared for Burns as the 5♦K♥ runout meant Morvan doubled up.

Level 22 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Kahle Burns opened to 100,000 from under the gun and was three-bet to 300,000 by Luke Edwards on the button. Action folded back to Burns, who called.

Burns check-called a 250,000 bet from Edwards on the J♣4♣K♥ flop and then led out for 275,000 after the 10♣ fell on the turn.

Edwards wanted none of it and let his hand go — conceding the pot to Burns.

Level 22 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Luke Edwards opened to 100,000 from middle position and found one caller in Paawan Bansal in the big blind.

Bansal check-called a 100,000 bet from Edwards on the 9♦7♣6♥ flop and then led out for 150,000 himself after the 9♠ turn paired the board. Edwards called.

The 3♠ appeared on the river and Bansal sized up for a bet of 770,000. Edwards tanked for a couple of minutes before letting his hand go and Bansal took down the pot without showing.

Level 22 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

David Pham had his stack of 270,000 in the middle from the hijack and had been put at risk by Nelson Dong.

David Pham: A♠K♦ All in
Nelson Dong: K♥6♥

Pham was well ahead with his Big Slick and flopped top pair on the 7♣K♠9♥ board. A 3♥ on the turn made things a little sweaty as Dong picked up a flush draw, but the A♣ river secured the double for Pham.
