Kapor Hits His Gutter Ball To Eliminate Cross

Level 16 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Sanjeev Kapoor
Sanjeev Kapoor

Sanjeev Kapoor opened the action with a raise to 18,000 from middle position before it folded to Peter Cross who three-bet to 50,000 from the hijack. Once it folded back to Kapoor he made the call to see a flop.

The flop came J95 and Kapoor check-called a bet of 18,000 from Cross.

After the 7 on the turn Kapoor checked to Cross who fired out 50,000. Kapoor then sat in the tank for over two minutes, before another player at the table called the clock. After he was given 30 seconds to act, Kapoor then raised to put Cross all in for his stack of 250,000 and Cross snap called to put himself at risk.

Peter Cross; JJ All in
Sanjeev Kapoor: K10

Kapoor jammed right into Cross's set of jacks, saying "That was a misread". Kapoor was left with only a gut shot straight draw to beat the set of jacks, But that draw came right in after the Q hit the river to give Kapoor the straight, and eliminate Cross.

Nguyen Doubles Up

Level 16 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Robert Nguyen raised all in from under the gun for his stack of 76,000. It then folded to Alexander Farahi on the button, who made the call. After the blinds folded it was the two players heads up, with Nguyen at risk.

Robert Nguyen: 66 All in
Alexander Farahi: AQ

It was a flip for Nguyen's tournament life, which he was ahead with his pocket sixes. The 35K flop changed nothing, but the 6 on the turn left Farahi drawing dead. Once the 7 came on the river Nguyen officially had the best hand with his set to secure the double up.
