Desai Surges Up the Leaderboard
Level 16
: Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Padraig O'Neill opened from under the gun to 10,000 and got a call from Hong Pham two seats down. Ashraf Desai called in the small blind, and Sonia Padovani also came along in the big blind.
They quartet went to a flop of 10♦10♥A♠ which checked to Pham, who fired 18,000. Desai called, Padovani folded, and O'Neill called.
All three checked the J♠ turn to see the 4♠ drop on the river, where Desai led out for 56,000. O'Neill went into the tank for a while and with a stack of around 130,000, he called. Pham quickly folded.
Desai then showed trip tens with K♠10♠, and O'Neill mucked.
