An unknown gentleman made it 2,200 form the cutoff, only for a second unknown gent to make it 5,500 from the button. Shankar Pillai in the small blind (who won a bracelet last year in the $3,000 NLHE) eyed up the button's stack for a few moments, before announcing all in. Ketul Nathwani folded his big blind, the original raiser folded too, and the gent on the button called.

Button: {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{A-Clubs}

Pillai:

{A-Hearts}

{K-Hearts}

Board:

{10-Hearts}

{K-Spades}

{10-Clubs}

{K-Clubs}

{6-Hearts}

"Well, that's a nice end to my day," muttered the now-eliminated gent who had been the button as he got up and made for the exit. Pillai now on 104,000.
