Desai Surges Up the Leaderboard
Level 16
: Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Padraig O'Neill opened from under the gun to 10,000 and got a call from Hong Pham two seats down. Ashraf Desai called in the small blind, and Sonia Padovani also came along in the big blind.
They quartet went to a flop of 10?10?A? which checked to Pham, who fired 18,000. Desai called, Padovani folded, and O'Neill called.
All three checked the J? turn to see the 4? drop on the river, where Desai led out for 56,000. O'Neill went into the tank for a while and with a stack of around 130,000, he called. Pham quickly folded.
Desai then showed trip tens with K?10?, and O'Neill mucked.
