Mukul Pahuja Doubles Thru Justin Warner

Justin Warner raises form the hijack to 120,000, Blake Purvis calls from the cutoff, Chance Kornuth calls from the small blind, and WPT Player of the Year points leader Mukul Pahuja moves all in from the big blind for 1,125,000.

Warner moves all in over the top for 1,590,000, and Purvis and Kornuth both fold.

Pahuja shows [Kc9c], and he needs to improve to stay alive against Warner’s [8d8h].

The board comes [Qh10h3c9h7s], and Pahuja pairs his nine on the turn to win the pot and double up in chips.

Mukul Pahuja  –  2,650,000  (53 bb)
Justin Warner  –  465,000  (9 bb)

Pahuja leads the Season XII WPT Player of the Year race, and he has already added 100 points to his total by reaching the final three tables. He needs 18th place or better to increase his total even further.
