Cooler at the table with Sagar “sagarpupul” Choudhury turning over K♥ K♣ to deny Nitesh “Batmanpok” Katiyar’s Q♣ Q♠. The board even granted to a king on the flop for overkill.
Catching a bust where the leader “kamran777” was seated. All in preflop, Aditya “konstantin” Singh A♦ Q♠, Nitin “philhermouth” Arora A♠ 5♣, board offered no help to Arora.
