  • We wrote earlier about Pratyush losing most of his stack to Martin. After one double back to around 100K a hand developed between he (cutoff) and Tim (button) that showed him out the door. In the hand Pratyush raised all in (it was 102K exactly) and although Tim had just doubled him up once, he called this time. The SB and BB both folded and the cards were turned on their backs.

    Pratyush: Ace of Clubs 5 of Hearts

    Tim: 8 of Diamonds 8 of Clubs

    The board cards kept Tim in the lead the whole way: 2 of Diamonds Queen of Hearts 10 of Spades King of Clubs 4 of Spades and Pratyush finishes in 5th place for $48,888.
