There is quite some disbelief when the cards go into showdown in what seems a rather innocent pot to the turn after which Kshitij Darbari check-raises big and sigh-calls the all-in of Vivek Singh with some 75,000 behind. Darbari motions to his opponent first to show the cards, reluctant to reveal his holdings.
Eventually, he exposes the for eights and sixes … as some eyes drop to the floor. Singh already has the deadlock on the pot with for trips eights and the river doesn’t matter.
“What the hell was that? I am sitting here since 1pm and grind my ass of …” one of the players at the table chimes in.
Soon after that, the 154 or so remaining players head into a scheduled 15-minute break.
Vivek Singh – 190,000
Kshitij Darbari – Eliminated
