Bhupal Spikes Six to Stay Alive
Level 21
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Baljinder Bhupal shoved for his final 240,000 on the button and was quickly called by Tsztak Ho from the big blind to be at risk for his tournament life.
Baljinder Bhupal: K♥6♣
Tsztak Ho: K♠Q♥
Bhupal found out the bad news when Ho tabled his better king, but the flop turned around his fortune when the 6♦10♥3♣ came down to give Bhupal a pair of sixes and the healthy lead.
The 3♥ turn was of no consequence as Bhupal needed to fade a queen with one card to come.
Bhupal secured the double on the 5♣ river to stay in the hunt on Day 2.
At another table, Justin Chen and Eduardo Miranda met their fate on Day 2 to exit the tournament.
