Bhavin Khatri recalled a hand in which he defended out of the big blind with the seven-deuce and flopped bottom two pair in the last hand before the break, while Stephen Lockett turned top pair and top kicker with ace-king. That propelled Khatri near the top of the leaderboard on a table that now also includes Darren Delahunty.

Sebastian Skurynski raised to 800 before a three-bet to 2,400 came in. Oliver White then four-bet to 6,200 and Skurynski called, the three-bettor folded. On the ![]()
![]()
flop, White check-raised all-in with the superior stack and Skurynski called it off.
Sebastian Skurynski: ![]()
![]()
Oliver White: ![]()
![]()
The dominated pair found no help on the
turn and
river to award the pot to White, who then took a sip from his fresh Cafe Latte. Apparently, that dish comes with a set of chips as well as the player from one seat over almost immediately contemplated to order one as well.
