Patel Doubles Opponent, Then Gets It Back
From middle position, Hiren "Sunny" Patel raised to 2,800. The cutoff seat flat-called, then the button reraised all in for 4,200. Action folded back to Patel, and he reraised to 9,400. That knocked the cutoff seat out of the hand and left Patel heads up with the all-in opponent.
Patel showed the 
and was live against his opponent's 
. After the board ran out 
, the player nearly tripled up.
On the very next hand, Patel raised to 2,800 again, and the same player reraised all in for 14,900. Play folded back to Patel, and he did some math in his head before calling.
This time, Patel held a pair with the 
and was ahead of the 
for his opponent. The flop, turn and river kept Patel's ducks in front when the 
fell, and he won the pot to send the player to the rail.
