Bhatia in the Danger Zone
Eduards "IlIlIlIliIIl" Kudrjavcevs has won several pots to take over the lead but none of them involved any showdown.
The only hand that led all the way to the river was between open raiser Alexandros "THE Sheriff" Theologis and Luis "Xapilskinha" Assuncao Garla with the latter defending the small blind. They checked the 
flop, Assuncao Garla check-called the 
turn for 1,401,840 and the 
river was checked by both.
Assuncao Garla tabled 
for the nuts and Theologis only held 
for top pair.
Kudrjavcevs then raised to 720,000 and Kunal "Alex_52" Bhatia three-bet to 2,205,000 with 3,818,906 behind out of the small blind, which got through uncontested.
Bhatia's next move was a button raise to 792,000 and Assuncao Garla called from the big blind. The 
flop went check, check, Assuncao Garla then bet the 
turn for 540,000 and the river for 2,340,000. Bhatia called the first bet without hesitation and used a portion of his time bank on the river.
Assuncao Garla tabled 
for trips jacks and Bhatia was left with rumbs holding 
.
