Patel Continues to Soar

Since returning from dinner it seems nothing can go wrong for Kunal Patel, who has managed to vault toward the top of the chip counts in the past few levels.

In a recent hand, action folded to an unknown player in the small blind and he shipped for 40,000. Patel asked for a count from the big and upon obtaining it said, "Alright, I call."

Patel: {A-Spades}{9-Clubs}
Small Blind: {A-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}

Both players shared an ace, but Patel's kicker had him out in front. The {3-Hearts}{2-Spades}{3-Clubs} flop put out some chop options, and the {Q-Diamonds} turn added to them. Fortunately for Patel, the river was the lowly {4-Spades} and his kicker played to boost his stack by 40,000.
