Caneralkin Mandal (Troy, MI)
The first half hour of this Event 7 restart has been all Adi Prasetyo. He came in fourth in chips but he’s now playing a sizable chip lead on the player in attendance, and we say in attendance because Day 2 chip leader Daniel Amar is still absent from the final table.
Prasetyo opened his account winning a decent pot against Raj Desai and then scored the first final table knockout, sending Caneralkin Mandal to the rail in 9th place in an Omaha hand. That action was picked up on a board of {Jc}{8s}{6h}, with Mandel leading and Prasetyo raising in a blind versus blind encounter.
Mandal then made it three bets to put himself all-in and the cards were tabled. Mandal held {Ad}{As}{9h}{3c} and he needed help, as Prasetyo held {Kh}{Qs}{Jh}{6d} for two pair. The {9c} and {Qh} completed the board and Mandal’s aces were no good, as Prasetyo scooped the pot and notched the knockout.
He then picked off another pot, as his aces up bested Raj Desai’s smaller two pair in a Stud H/L hand, to move him up near the 450,000 chip mark. Desai is now down to under 50,000.
