Kunal Patni Eliminated in 20th Place ($24,697)
Level 28
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Kunal Patni opened to 200,000 off a short stack and Ravi Shankar three-bet to 400,000. When the action got back to Patni, he made the call for a few extra chips.
Kunal Patni: J♥6♥ 
Ravi Shankar: 8♥8♠
It looked bleak for Patni and the 10♠7♥4♣ flop didn't offer much help. What did give Patni hope was the J♦ turn as he hit top pair, which also improved Shankar to a straight draw.
"Nine," said Shankar.
Ask and you shall receive as the 9♦ fell on the river, which completed Shankar's straight and eliminated Patni.
