Ace Knocks Puttamsetty Out In 8th Place

The final table has already seen its first bust out of the day in Rajasekhar Puttamsetty who busted in 8th spot for ₹5,47,100.

When the FT began, Puttamsetty had the second last chip lead with only 190,000. At Level 25, Anand Thakur bet 150,000 with A ♣ 2 ♦ , Puttamsetty shoved his short stack with 6 ♠ 2 ♣ and the community cards ran out 8 ❤ K ❤ 3 ♠ 5 ♦ 5 ❤ . This gave both players a pair on the board. As Thakur had an Ace, he won the pot and showed the door to Puttamsetty. Could Puttamsetty have chosen a better spot to shove?

• Thakur: A ♣ 2 ♦
• Puttamsetty: 6 ♠ 2 ♣
• Board: 8 ❤ K ❤ 3 ♠ 5 ♦ 5 ❤
