Kumar On the Spin Cycle
Level 6
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Madan Kumar opened to 1,600 from the hijack and then called after the small blind jammed for about 14,000, covering him slightly.
Small blind: K♠K♣
Madan Kumar: A♠Q♦
Kumar needed some help to crack his opponent's kings as the 5♦3♠2♦ flop added a gutshot to his immediate outs. Nothing changed on the 9♥ turn, but the river was the 4♦, completing the wheel for Kumar to collect the bounty.
"You don't even understand," a tablemate added as Kumar stacked his newfound chips, "He was just down to 300 chips."
Kumar now sits around 33,000, increasing his stack by a factor of 110 in a couple orbits.
