Kishor Bhakata
Kishor Bhakata

Kishor Bhakta got his short-stack in with TcTd and was racing against Bill Burdick’s AhKh.

The race got interesting when the flop fell QhJs6h giving Bill both straight and flush draws.  The turn made it even more interesting when the Th fell, giving Bill the lead with a flush, but giving Kishor some hope with a set of Tens.  He needed the board to pair on the river to survive.

River brought the 7h however, and Kishor hit the rail in 15th place, earning $11,754.
