Level 13 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Action folded to Bin Weng on the button, and he raised to 6,000. The small blind folded, and Divyam Satyarthi defended the big blind.

The flop came 6♥9♦7♥ and Satyarthi checked to Weng, who bet to put Satyarthi all in for 37,500, and quickly made the call to put himself at risk.

Divyam Satyarthi: K♠9♣ All in
Bin Weng: J♥8♠

Weng flopped an open ended straight draw, but Satyarthi had the best hand with his pair of nines. Once the board ran out 6♦ on the turn, and 7♦ on the river, the two pair nines and sevens were the best hand, to give Satyarthi the double up.

Bin Weng	165,000 30,000	30,000

Divyam Satyarthi	74,500 16,500	16,500
