Chaura Doubles Through Patni
Level 8
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Basel Chaura opened to 2,500 in middle position and got a caller in the small blind, Jian Yang. Big blind, Kunal Patni, went beyond and made it 10,500, which triggered Chaura to go all-in for around 35,000. Yang got out of the way, but Patni called.
Basel Chaura: A♥K♠ 
Kunal Patni: A♦Q♥
Chaura was ahead, dominating Patni's hand, and his lead was reinforced when the flop came 3♦K♥2♦. The runout 6♣9♣ didn't improve Patni's hand. Chaura scooped the pot for a double.
