Choch Makes Big Laydown; Khatri Eliminated

Level 16 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Bhavin Khatri
Bhavin Khatri

The under-the-gun player limped in before Justin Chock made it 18,000 from middle position. Bhavin Khatri, who was once a big stack, jammed for just 25,000 on his direct left. Action folded to Qingwei Meng in the big blind who clicked it to 50,000.

The under-the-gun player folded and Chock went deep into the tank before folding Q?Q? face up.

He soon had a look of relief on his face as Meng and Khatri tabled their cards.

Bhavin Khatri: 3?3?
Qingwei Meng: A?A?

Chock had pulled off a great escape folding his pocket queens but regret soon appeared as the flop came with the Q?10?2?. The 8?9? turn and river confirmed Khatri's exit and Meng chipped up.
