Patel Hits a Miracle to Double
Level 8
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Norman Boothe raised to 3,300 in the cutoff and Corey Major called on the button. Talesh Patel then moved all in for 30,000 in the small blind, and the big blind reshoved. Boothe and Major quickly folded.
Talesh Patel: K♦K♠
Opponent: A♦A♠
Patel turned over two kings, but he had run right into his opponent's aces. The flop, though, brought K♣6♠4♦ to give him the lead with a set. The rest of the board ran out Q♦7♦, and Patel doubled up.
