Pocket Aces Bring Balakrishna Patur Over a Quarter-Million

Bala Patur

A player limps in UTG+1 and WPT Champions Club member Brian Altman raises to 3,300 one seat over. The hijack calls, and the player on the button re-jams.

WPT Champions Club member Balakrishna Patur is in the big blind and asks for a count, which is totaled to be 18,700. He then cold four-bets to 42,000 and everybody folds behind.

All-In Player: Diamond ASpade J
Patur: Club AHeart A

Patur picks up a sweat on the flop Heart QClub 10Diamond 4 but fades his opponent’s four outs to Broadway as the turn Spade 5 and river Spade Q complete the runout to score him the pot and the elimination.

Patur has continued his ascent of late and now finds himself as one of the chip leaders in the room nearing the midway point in Level 7.

Balakrishna Patur – 277,000 (277 bb)
