Mehta Eliminated by Poonhath
Level 10
: Blinds 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante
Rajeev Poonhath opened from under the gun and was then one of two players to call the short-stacked all-in of Kamlesh Mehta for 29,500 in the next seat, as Sugen Singh also flat-called in the small blind.
Both active players checked the 9♠9♣4♦ flop to the 5♥ turn. Singh checked again and then folded when Poonhath bet 7,000.
Kamlesh Mehta: A♦5♦
Rajeev Poonhath: 4♠4♥
Mehta needed a nine or five but the 8♦ river ended his run.
Poonhath chipped up to more than two starting stacks and has one more entry secured in case things don't go as planned, as he won one of today's flip not long ago.
