Kakalis Crippled

[user66118]

Nicholas Kakalis opened on the button for a raise to 7,600. Peter Kaltzidis folded his small blind, but Nauvneel Kashyap shipped it all in from the big blind, sliding out all 63,400 of his chips. Kakalis made the call, having his opponent just slightly covered.

Showdown:
Kakalis: {J-Hearts}

{J-Hearts}

{J-Diamonds}

Kashyap:

{A-Spades}

{8-Hearts}

With Kashyap all in for his tournament livelihood, the flop was a big dry desert. It came down {3-Diamonds}

{3-Diamonds}

{Q-Spades}

{9-Spades}

. The turn brought the at-risk player a big sigh of relief, as the {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

vaulted him back into the lead. The river was the {10-Clubs}

{10-Clubs}

, and Nauvneel Kashyap does indeed earn the double-up. He is now up to 131,000, while Nicholas Kakalis is left sitting with just two lonely black T100 chips.
