Patel Gets River Value
Level 18
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Mirang Patel opened to 20,000 from late position but was then quickly three-bet to 85,000 by Lewis Russell in the cutoff. Action folded back around to Patel who thought for a few seconds before making the call.
The flop was 
and both players decided to check to the turn 
.
Patel then led out for a small wager of 15,000 and was called by Russell.
The river fell the 
and saw Patel lead out again, this time for 80,000. Rusell took some time to think about it, he cut out the necessary chips and compared it to the rest of his stack; if he called he would be left with less than 100,000.
He eventually slid out calling chips and was shown 
by Patel for a flopped two-pair and Russel somberly mucked his hand.
