Anand’s Snakes Prove Fatal For Gopal

A player from the small blind bet 600 preflop, leading to Anand Thakur calling, Minissha Lamba raising to 3,200 and Gopal Bajaj re-raising to 7,500. The player on the small blind folded, and Thakur three-bet shoving his 37,400 all-in. Lamba folded at this point, and Bajaj made an all-in call with his remaining stack of 33,200 chips. The board revealed 4 ♠ 6 ❤ 2 ♦ Q ♠ J ♦ . Thakur showed snakes (5 ♦ 5 ♣). Bajaj left the tournament with A ♦ K ♣. You never know when the big slick can fall flat.

• Thakur: 5 ♦ 5 ♣
• Bajaj: A ♦ K ♣
• Board: 4 ♠ 6 ❤ 2 ♦ Q ♠ J ♦
