Raj Desai (Randolph, NJ)
The swings at these high blind levels are going to create some serious swings over the next few levels and through the first 45 minutes of Day 2, Raj Desai experienced those swings.
Desai came back second in chips but after running into the red hot Adi Prasetyo in Level 17, he was short stacked when the blinds went up. Eventually, he was all-in in a multi-way pot, with Marc Matz and Daniel Amar, who just sat down, seeing a flop of {Qc}{4h}{3d}.
Matz check-called a bet and then the two checked it down as the {Kh} and {10d} completed the board. Amar tabled {Ah}{5h}{2s}{2d} and couldn’t believe that his low didn’t come in for at least half the pot, as Matz turned over {7h}{5c}{4c}{3s} for two pair.
That was good, as Desai could only muster {Ax}{9x}{6x}{3x} and he was officially eliminated in 8th place.
