Purohit Holds On to Double Off Lanning
Level 8
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Dinesh Purohit raised to 12,000 under the gun and Joel Lanning called in the cutoff, turning over K♠Q♣ before Purohit pointed out he still had 1,000 behind. Purohit then put in his last chip on the J♣10♠7♦ flop and Lanning called.
Dinesh Purohit: A♠5♣
Joel Lanning: K♠Q♣
Lanning had a straight draw as he looked to send Purohit to the rail, but Purohit's ace held on through the 8♣ turn and 7♠ river to earn him a double up.
"Make sure you note down that he cheated during the hand," the dealer joked after the hand.
