Pahuja Steaming

A player raised the action to 3,000 from under the gun and action folded around to Vinny Pahuja on the button. Pahuja tanked and tanked before finally reraising to 11,000. The two blinds got out of the way and then the player under the gun moved all in for 17,000 total. Pahuja quickly called.

Pahuja tabled {A-Clubs} {K-Spades} and was ahead of his opponent's {A-Hearts} {Q-Hearts}, but after the board ran out {K-Hearts} {6-Clubs} {2-Clubs} {2-Hearts} {6-Hearts}, Pahuja was second best to his opponent's flush.

Pahuja has had multiple opponents on the ropes today, but lost nearly every single one of those big confrontations despite being ahead when the money went in. He's down to 35,000 now and steaming.
