Boyapati Off and Running

Level 1 : 25/50, 0 ante

Asheesh Boyapati has only two entries in the Hendon Mob database -- but both are final tables. In March, he finished 7th in the $3,125 Main Event at the Chicago Poker Classic in Hammond, Indiana, earning about $30,000. Then earlier this month he was the runner-up in the Main Event of the WSOP-C Circuit Stop in St. Louis, pocketing an additional $87,000.

He's off and running here in Las Vegas. He was one of six people to pay 150 pre-flop. On a flop of {7-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{a-Clubs}, a middle-position player bet 750. Boyapati's raise to 1,800 cleared everyone else out of the pot, with only the middle-position player calling. That player check-called 3,000 more on the {q-Spades} turn and 8,000 on the {5-Hearts} river. Boyapati showed {4-Spades}{4-Hearts} for a set of 4s to collect a healthy pot and jump to 32,000.
