Joshi Gets a Gift
Level 11
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Sachin Joshi opened to 3,000 from under the gun before Boris Angelov three-bet to 7,500 from the cutoff. Mohammed Lasheb called from the small blind and Joshi also stuck around.
On the 9♦8♠6♠ flop, Lasheb checked before Joshi led out for 6,000. Both opponents called.
On the K♥ turn, Lasheb ripped in his big stack and then Joshi called off his stack of 28,500. Angelov folded.
Sachin Joshi: 8♣8♥ 
Mohammed Lasheb: Q♥10♥
Joshi was the huge favorite with his set of eights, while Lasheb was drawing to his double-gutter. The 2♦ river gave Joshi the checkmark to double up.
Lasheb was left with around 60,000 after the hand, but that quickly evaporated as he has since been eliminated.
