Babusukumar On the Right Side of a Cooler
Level 30
: Blinds 75,000/150,000, 150,000 ante
Xiaohu Liu opened from under the gun to 325,000 and when it got to Umesh Babusukumar in the small blind, he ripped in his stack of 1,875,000. Once the action was back on Liu, he called.
Umesh Babusukumar: K♦K♣ 
Xiaohu Liu: A♠K♠
It was a bit of a cooler situation that, at least on paper, favored Babusukumar. The flop of 7♦Q♥3♣ kept his Cowboys in the lead and the 2♣ turn put him one card away from a double-up. Babusukumar did get his double-up when the 10♦ hit the river, and Liu had to cough up the chips.
