Dexter Mercado Saves The Day

Tournament Director Dexter Mercado’s eagle eye spot saved Siddarth Singhvi from losing a massive pot. 

On Level 7 at Table 9, Gutshot sponsored pro Anant Purohit limped preflop while Siddarth Singhvi raised 1,800 holding pocket kings. Ankit Bhartia and Purohit called. When the community cards Kc Jd Ac ran out, Bhartia immediately flopped a straight with his Q-T suited. Purohit with his straight draw jammed 5,800. Singhvi went all-in with 12,400 and Bhartia called. The turn (7h) and the river (7s) gave Singhvi a full house but he almost lost the pot to Bhartia as the dealer mucked his cards assuming that Bhartia’s straight won the hand. However, Mercado intervened and saved Singhvi from a costly mistake by the dealer. Gutshot pro Purohit was busted.

• Singhvi: Ks Kd
• Bhartia: Qd Td
• Board: Kc Jd Ac 7h 7s
