Sumit’s Aces Failed Him

Popular grinder Sumit Sapra has been eliminated at the hands of Vivek Singh. At Level 11 on Table 11 (blinds 1,000/2,000, ante 2,000), preflop action saw Singh betting 4,000 which got called by the other three players. On the flop (2 ♦ Q ❤ 6 ♠), Gutshot Pro Dhirendra Kumar checked, Singh bet 4,500, Sapra and Kumar called. Turn (2 ❤ ) saw Kumar checking, Singh going for a bet of 12,500 and Sapra matched. The river (6 ❤ ) witnessed Singh going all-in with 45,500 and Sapra called again. Singh’s flush drowned Sapra’s Pocket Rockets. Singh’s 4,500 raise on the flop must have got Sapra thinking that Singh had hit his Queen which made it difficult for him to fold his Aces on the river. Did Sapra not imagine a flush could be in the offing?

Singh: J ❤ T ❤
Sapra: A ♣ A ♦
Board: 2 ♦ Q ❤ 6 ♠ 2 ❤ 6 ❤
