Dhingra Fighting Back

Level 20 : 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

In the small blind, Gautam Dhingra opened with a raise to 72,000. Matt Wakeman called in the big blind.

The flop was {K-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}{10-Spades} and both players opted to check to see the {2-Clubs} on the turn. There, Dhingra checked again. Wakeman put out a bet, making it 65,000. Dhingra just called.

On the {7-Spades} river, Dhingra checked for a third time. Wakeman put out a bet of 155,000. Dhingra mulled it over for a bit then shoved all in. Wakeman thought it over but folded so Dhingra was able to take down the pot. After taking own the pot, Dhingra moved over 900,000 chips while Wakeman slipped out of the chip lead.

The live stream later revealed that Dhingra was holding {J-Spades}{9-Clubs} for a flopped straight.
