Big Stax 1500 (Day 1B): Patel Doubles Back From Break

Level 7 (Blinds 300/600/100)
Total Day 1B Entries: 58

Kunal Patel (Friendswood, TX)

Walking by Table 46, there would be an opportunity for Kunal Patel to double up.  On a flop of 10♦ 9♣ 3♦, Kunal led the flop, only to hear Anthony Tonzelli announce himself all-in (enough to cover Patel).  Patel would check back at his cards before making the call for his remaining 37,000:

Patel: 6♦ 9♦ (pair and flush draw)
Tonzelli: Q♠ J♣ (open ended/two overs)

Turn: A♦
River: 4♣

When the hands were tabled, other players at seated were clearly surprised to see that Kunal was ahead.  The turn would make Patel the flush and solidify the double up to 85,000.
