Batista Out Pips Patni
Level 27
: Blinds 50,000/75,000, 75,000 ante
Vasco Batista raised in first position to 150,000 and action folded around to Kunal Patni in the big blind who called.
On the K♥A♠K♣ flop, Patni check called a bet of 100,000 from Batista.
The turn peeled off a 2♣ which saw Patni check over to Batista who bet once more, this time to the tune of 450,000. Patni called and the river 7♦ saw both players check.
Patni turned over A♥8♦ for aces up with an eight, but Batista held A♣9♣ for aces up with a nine and he took down the pot.
