End of the Road for Patni

Kunal Patni and Manh Huu Nguyen were all-in preflop with the latter as the player at risk for 149,000, which Patni had barely covered.

The flop improved Patni but the turn gave Nguyen the superior pair. A potential split pot was possible but the river was a blank.

Patni then inquired if the ante or big blind would come first as he'd be forced all-in within the next two hands. Since it was ante first, he moved all-in blind and Hyunkyu Kim then jammed his short stack to force out all other players.

The board had Patni drawing dead but he joked about a "bad beat" as his two pair were no good. However, there was some good news as he made the pay jump since Ha Ngoc Nguyen had busted just prior to that.
