Kates Smacks the River to Stun Purohit
Level 6
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
The rest of the table had already gone off on break while Zach Kates and Dinesh Purohit continued to tangle in a pot.
Purohit had three-bet to 8,200 on the button before Kates four-bet to 26,600 in the hijack. Purohit then moved all in, and Kates called for 85,000
Zach Kates: K♠K♣ 
Dinesh Purohit: A♦3♦
Purohit had been caught making a move but found an ace on the A♥7♣8♣ flop to take the lead. The 9♣ turn gave Kates some hope with a flush draw, and he made his flush on the 6♣ river to win the pot and earn the massive double up.
