Puneet Dua’s ME Journey Ends

Level 14, blinds 1,500/3,000, big blind ante 3,000 

A five-bet pot was played between Yadi Yao and Indian player Puneet Dua which led to the latter’s exit from the Main Event.

Yao led the action and Dua 3-bet 22,500. Yao went for a 4-bet of 61,000 only to see Dua hit back with a 5-bet shove of 130,000. Yao snap-called and both players revealed their cards. Dua had Fishhooks and his rival had Cowboys.

Dua looked pale and wasn’t confident that the board would favour him in any way. Q♦ 6♠ 7♥ T♦ T♠ was the runout and Yao’s Kings were good to go. Dua was out of the Main Event.
