Patel Moving Up on Second Entry
Level 5
: 200/400, 400 ante
After an early first exit, Jay Patel is making some headway, almost doubling up on the 30,000 starting stack.
Just now he flat called an under the gun open in early position and was called by one player behind, before the blinds came along too.
On the 
flop, it checked to Patel, who bet 3,000 and the cutoff and small blind called. The turn was the 
and Patel didn't barrel, giving the cutoff the option to bet, which he did. Only Patel called the 7,000 bet and they were heads up on the river.
It was the 
and this time it went check-check. Patel turned over 
for a pair of queens and it was enough to secure him the pot.
