Kumar Dhar Builds His Stack

Level 10 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

On the first hand, the board already showed {9-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} with a pot containing around 85,000 when a player checked to Rajendara Kumar Dhar, who sent 50,000 in the middle. His opponent went deep into the tank and eventually folded. Kumar Dhar just showed {k-Spades}{k-Hearts}.

The hand after, Jan-Peter Jachtmann, Kumar Dhar and the big blind were involved on a flop showing {6-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{k-Clubs}. The big blind checked to Jactmann who bet 15,000, and only Kumar Dhar called.

The turn revealed the {3-Hearts} and this time Jachtmann checked. Kumar Dhar fired 35,000 and Jachtmann thought about it for some time before folding his hand, revealing {a-Clubs}{6-Spades}{3-Clubs}. Kumar Dhar took down the pot and flipped over {q-Hearts}{8-Hearts}.

Level 10 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

All the chips were in the middle preflop by the cutoff and Jonathan Hutson on the button. Hutson was at risk for 41,200.

Jonathan Hutson: {a-Spades}{k-Hearts}{4-Spades}{4-Hearts}
Cutoff: {a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}

The action was picked up in a pot of 82,500 on a flop of {j-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}. Ryan D'Angelo moved all in for 50,000 from the button after being checked to by his opponent in the big blind.

The big blind went deep into the tank for at least 5 minutes before the clock was called and the player had 30-seconds to act. He eventually flashed the table {k-Clubs}{k-Hearts} and mucked his hand on the last second of the countdown.

"Will you tell me later what you had", said the big blind as D'Angelo stacked his chips and nodded to confirm he would.
