Pundjab: From Hero to Zero

How do you lose 401,000 chips in 120-minutes of poker with the blinds at 1,500/3,000? If you want the answer to that question you had better ask Vishal Pundjab because that is exactly what he has just done.

Paul Berende hammered the final nail in the coffin into the wood. The Dutchman is now the chip leader, after sending the man who started the day second in chips, for an early bath.

Pundjab opens for 8,000 and Berende flats in the big blind. The flop is [Qs] [Jh] [7d] and both players check. The turn is the [9d], Berende bets 20,000 and Pundjab calls (leaving 34k behind). The final card is the [As], and Berende puts Pundjab all-in and he eventually calls. It’s [Qd] [Jc] for Berende and Pundjab mucks his cards unseen.
