Championship: Raj Wins 400k Chip Pot to Take Lead

$3300 + $200 Championship Deep Stack Double Play NLH (Re-Entry)

Blinds 1,200/2,400/400 ante

On the third to last hand of the night Raj Vohra (Lakeworth, FL) and Kunal Patel (Friendswood, TX) are in a huge hand that gives Vohra the end of Day 2 chip lead. On a board of 8♣ 6♣ 2 ♠, there's a 4-bet all in and Patel's all in and at risk for his last 190k.

Vohra: A♣ 9♣ (over card, flush draw)
Patel: Q♦ Q ♠ (over pair)

Turn: 7♣ 

Vohra hits his flush before the meaningless river card and finishes the night with the chip lead at 580,700.

"I knew if I lost, I'd still have an average stack," says Vohra after knocking out Patel, who takes the beat in stride. Vohra would have been left with ~180k had he lost the hand.

Vohra is no stranger to the WPT and is looking for redemption. "I've had the lead a couple of times on Day 1 or Day 2, but have never made a final table. We'll see if we can change that," he says.

Vohra deepest run in a WPT Main Event is a 14th place finish in April as part of his $500,000 in career tournament earnings.
