Krumins Wins a Chunky Pot Off Mehta
Level 12
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
With around 35,000 chips in the middle on a board of J♦2♦7♣10♠, Eriks Krumins had fired 20,000 from the small blind and Vikrum Mehta shoved from the big blind. Krumins had just over 50,000 more behind and after briefly thinking it over, he made the call.
Eriks Krumins: A♠J♥ 
Vikrum Mehta: Q♦J♠
Krumins was in the lead and just needed to fade one more card to score the big double-up. On the other hand, Mehta had an outside chance of becoming one of the chip leaders if he could find a queen. The 9♣ river didn't bring any surprises, and Krumins took the pot and marched up the counts.
