Dalal-In

Chris Klodnicki surveys Suraj Dalal's winning straight
Chris Klodnicki surveys Suraj Dalal's winning straight

Moments after Daniel Wach assumed the chip lead, a huge hand took place between Suraj Dalal and Chris Klodnicki that saw Dalal surge into first position.

We arrived following the river, after an "all in" and "call" had been announced. The board showed {2-Spades}{5-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{9-Spades}, and Dalal was tabling his hand — {A-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} for a flopped wheel. A somewhat dismayed Klodnicki shook his head and mucked, then told his opponent "nice hand" as the 100,000-plus chip pot was pushed Dalal's way.

"As long as the board didn't pair," said Dalal, to which Scott Baumstein asked "He could have a boat but not a flush there?" Dalal didn't respond.
