At Risk, Patni Puts the Pressure on Kalaquian


With a healthy pot already brewing in the middle and a board of 2 4 5 5, Kunal Patni shoved his final 20,600 to put Elmer Kalaquian, one of the players with the bigger stacks, in the pressure cooker.

Kalaquian tanked and tanked and eventually someone had to call for time… 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5… and the Filipino just can’t make the call even with the big stack. Patni survives without a showdown and adds the nice pot to his stack.
