Avila Chip Leader

Level 11 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

It is a tale of opposing fortunes for Juan Avila and Jai Patel. Since getting moved Table 2, Patel has been on a downward trajectory, while things are going from strength to strength for tablemate Avila.

Just now Avila added more to his already impressive stack. He had opened the action on the cutoff and Patel three-bet to 15,800. After Avila called, they saw a flop. Patel continued for 15,000 but elected to fold when Avila set him all in.

Patel Bets for Max Value

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

All the cards were out with on show. Jai Patel was first to act and he moved all in for 50,500, which was a pot-sized bet. Getnet Kassa was the only player in with him and a call would be for his all in. He used a time-bank card to give himself an extra 30 seconds of thinking time before deciding to let his hand go.

Jai Patel turned over for a straight flush, to the amusement of his tablemates. When Mark Barlow asked Kassa what he folded, he told him .
