Backed by 2/3 of the chips in play, Manish “thekid” Lakhotia went on a shoving spree and finally got a caller in Akshay “powershell” Asawa. Lakhotia had K♥ 3♥, Asawa with A♦ Q♣, the board ran low with a three spiking the river 5♦ 8♦ 8♣ 7♠ 3♦ to oust Asawa in 3rd place.
Next on Manish “thekid” Lakhotia’s hit list was Dhaval “Rehab77” Mudgal shoved on the button with 2♦ 2♣, called by sb Lakhotia with 8♠ A♦. The board ran well for Mudgal until the river 4♣ J♦ 3♦ 7♥ 8♥ for a higher pair to the leader and all of Mudgal’s chips.
The grueling five handed round finally ended with Manish “thekid” Lakhotia delivering the boot to Akshay “sherlock52” Nasa. It was all in preflop with Lakhotia three-bet jamming on initial raiser Nasa who then called.
