Eshaan Gets the Bhalla Rolling
Level 32
: Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante
Matthew Lambrecht opened the hijack to 750,000 and Vladimir Minko three-bet to 1,900,000 from the cutoff. Eshaan Bhalla was on the button and committed his stack of 1,700,000. When the action got back to Lambrecht, he shoved for around 13,000,000, which gave Minko a tough decision. After some time, Minko made what looked to be an agonizing fold.
Eshaan Bhalla: J?J?
Matthew Lambrecht: A?K?
An all-too-familar coinflip that favored Bhalla after the flop as he made a set on the J?A?9? board. Lambrecht needed to hit running cards to scoop the pot but the 2? turn and 5? river weren't that, which meant Bhalla tripled up.
