Deepak Bhatti Doubles Through

[user4144]

With just several thousand in front of him and blinds of 120,000 and 240,000, it was looking bleak for Deepak Bhatti, and when Aadam Daya confidently announced all-in from the button, Bhatti's head sunk towards the felt.

After a minute or two in the tank, Daya shrugged his shoulders and called, turning over {J-Clubs} {2-Clubs} in the process. Much to Bhatti's chagrin, Daya revealed {Q-Spades} {J-Spades} .

The {A-Spades} {K-Hearts} {7-Spades} flop looked clinical, giving Bhatti a Broadway straight and flush draw to go with his already dominating queen high. Both men had their arms folded, standing over the table in what looked like a mirror image, but beyond the poker faces, it was Daya who was doing cartwheels.

However, just as the janitor was eying up the surrounding area, and I was thinking about what to include in my final post, the dealer did something rather cheeky and popped a {2-Diamonds} onto the felt. The loyal followings "oohed" and "aahed" as Bhatti's body language suddenly became more upbeat.

But, it wasn't over yet, as Daya still had the redraw, and as both players looked on intently, the river came a blank {9-Diamonds} to deliver Bhatti an unlikely, but much needed of double throughs.
