Feb 22, '21
 Kristen Bicknell raised from under the gun and was called by Derek Gregory from the lojack, Anselmo Villareal from the hijack, Tim Capretta in the small blind and Ankush Mandavia in the big blind.
The flop was 875 and Capretta checked. Mandavia led out for 440,000 which spurred folds from Bicknell, Gregory and Villareal. Capretta check-raised to 1,400,000 and Mandavia thought for a while before calling.
The turn was the 10 and Capretta moved all in. Mandavia snap-called. Capretta showed 1010, good for top set, but was in trouble against Mandavia’s 64. Mandavia flopped a straight and just needed to fade a board-pairing river to take the chip lead.
