Puchalski Claims the Lead From Kapoor
Level 28
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Alexander Puchalski made it 160,000 to go and Akshay Kapoor in the small blind was interested as he leaned out of his chair. "How much are you playing?" he asked Puchalski and it was Renniel Galvez that provided an estimate.
Kapoor three-bet to 600,000 and Galvez stared at Puchalski without noticing that he had not folded from the big blind yet, which came with the loss of one time bank after he was made aware of it and folded. Puchalski then called and they headed to the 
flop. Kapoor bet 300,000 and Puchalski called.
The 
turn went check, check, and the 
river paired the board. Kapoor checked again and Puchalski moved all-in to force a snap-fold from his opponent.
