  • Mukul has taken a few pots off Derrick recently to take an almost 2-to-1 lead, but he just lost one that cost him a lot. Mukul 3bet preflop to 975K, and Derrick made the call after having raised originally to 425K. On a flop of 8 of Clubs 8 of Hearts Ace of Spades, Mukul leads out with a small bet of 350K, and calls when Derrick raises to 1.3M. On the turn of Jack of Hearts, Mukul checks it over to Derrick, who bets 2.1M. Mukul then raises all-in, and gets a quick call from Derrick.

    Mukul: Queen of Spades 7 of Hearts

    Derrick: 8 of Spades 10 of Spades

    The river Jack of Spades improves Derricks hand to a full house, but Mukul was already drawing dead on the turn. Derrick climbs to over 20 million with that hand, taking the lead once more in this sea-saw heads-up battle.
