Choch Makes Big Laydown; Khatri Eliminated
Level 16
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
The under-the-gun player limped in before Justin Chock made it 18,000 from middle position. Bhavin Khatri, who was once a big stack, jammed for just 25,000 on his direct left. Action folded to Qingwei Meng in the big blind who clicked it to 50,000.
The under-the-gun player folded and Chock went deep into the tank before folding Q♣Q♦ face up.
He soon had a look of relief on his face as Meng and Khatri tabled their cards.
Bhavin Khatri: 3♣3♦
Qingwei Meng: A♠A♥
Chock had pulled off a great escape folding his pocket queens but regret soon appeared as the flop came with the Q♠10♦2♣. The 8♥9♠ turn and river confirmed Khatri's exit and Meng chipped up.
