A player raised UTG+1, the player in the hijack called, and Sanket Desai reraised from the big blind to 13,000. The UTG+1 player moved all in for about 67,000, and the hijack folded.

Desai snap-called with AsAd, and the UTG+1 player turned over AhKh, needing to improve to stay alive.

The board came Jc10d3s9d5d, and the UTG+1 player flopped a gutshot straight draw, but improved no further. Desai won the pot with his aces to eliminate his opponent.

Sanket Desai  –  163,000  (136 bb)
