The rumors of Kunal "Alex_52" Bhatia's demise have been greatly exaggerated as he just won an astonishing five hands in a row to get himself fully back into contention.

First, he was up versus Luis "Xapilskinha" Assuncao Garla. Alexandros "THE Sheriff" Theologis had opened to 1,600,000 and Assuncao Garla had called before Bathia shoved for just 3,481,767. Theologis folded for the few extra chips, Assuncao Garla called with {j-Spades}{9-Spades}. Bathia had {q-Hearts}{10-Clubs} and the queen-high held up on a low board.

After three raise-and-take-its, Bathia then picked up {a-Spades}{k-Spades} in a blind-on-blind battle with Assuncao Garla, who held the dominated {a-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}, The board came {7-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} and just like that, Bathia was back at 36 million.
