Bhasin Eliminates Two; Moves to 150K

Roy Bhasin -- Chip Monger
Roy Bhasin -- Chip Monger
Roy Bhasin has just knocked out both Chris Green and Michael Russell in the same hand and he now sits with 150,000 in chips, alone atop the leaderboard.

The hand saw both Green and Russell limp into the pot preflop. Koray Turker completed the bet from the small blind and when the action landed on Bhasin in the big, he raised the size of the pot. Green then opted to move all in, as did Russell, and Turker folded his hand straight away. Bhasin made the call in the big and a showdown ensued:

Green: {K-Clubs} {K-Spades} {Q-Spades} {5-Hearts}
Russell: {K-Hearts} {Q-Hearts} {10-Diamonds} {7-Spades}
Bhasin: {A-Clubs} {Q-Clubs} {10-Hearts} {2-Clubs}

The board then filled out {3-Clubs} {J-Clubs} {3-Spades} {A-Hearts} {2-Hearts} giving Bhasin two pair, aces and threes, to take down the pot, subsequently sending Green and Russell to the rail.
