Bhatti Doubles Through Mitchell
Nick Mitchell opened for 250,000 under the gun, but Deepak Bhatti went one better and pushed all in. It folded right around back to Bhatti, who bumped his stack up to around 1.7 million.
A few hands later, and Mitchell opened for 250,000 again, this time from the button, and Bhatti, now in the small blind, made it a cool million to go, just 600,000 or so behind. Gabe Costner gave up his big blind and left the two of them to fight between themselves.
Mitchell went all in.

"Sarah, king me, baby!" shouted one of the Mitchellites at the dealer, but it was not to be. Mitchell started glumly counting out the call before the flop had even been dealt.
Board:
Despite the calls to run it twice from the brave Mitchellites, their boy was reduced to a 1.3 million short stack. Happy days for Bhatti, though - he doubled to around 3.5 million.
