Indian pro Kunal Patni who had made it on to the final table of the PokerNews Cup $1 Million Mystery Bounty event has taken the sixth spot. He entered the FT with the second shortest stack and managed to pull through to finish sixth. 

Patni walks home with a pay cheque of $44,945. Patni shared the update on his Instagram story saying, “Busted in the 6th place. Thanks everyone for the rail and support!! Pretty unlucky on the Final Table to miss 3 pay jumps for sure!! Onto the Main Event day after!! LFG!!” (sic.)

Patni shoved all in from under the gun position for 6,650,000 chips. He was faced with an all-in call from Forrest Raleigh in the hijack. The Natural8 ambassador flipped A ♦ 5 ❤ , while Raleigh had A ♠ K ♣. The board fanned out 3 ❤ 3 ♦ 6 ♦ K ♦ T ♠. The King on the board helped Raleigh survive as Patni had to bid adieu to the tournament. 

• Patni: A ♦ 5 ❤
• Raleigh: A ♠ K ♣
• Board: 3 ❤ 3 ♦ 6 ♦ K ♦ T ♠

The event was eventually shipped by United Kingdom’s Johnny Kelly after striking a deal with Slovenia’s Vid Zagar and Portugal’s Humberto Lopes Galindo. Kelly bagged $176,540, while Zagar and Galindo walked home with $152,165 and $145,855, respectively. “And now I can actually say I’ve got a trophy. I’ve never had a trophy, and I’ve always wanted one,” said Kelly after winning the title.
