Written by Kyle | Sep 19, 2025 7:02:57 AM

Aditya Batra was heating up on the final table of Turbo Flight E!

Batra would eliminate Thomas Morgado, Anthony Secrest, and Michael Ayers to ultimately bag the chip lead of Turbo Flight E.

Morgado was eliminated with AT up against Batra's QQ on a board of 76568.

Secrest was eliminated after Batra limp-called Secrest's all-in blind versus blind.

Secrest: A4
Batra: Q3
Board: Q84TQ

Daniel Anderson then eliminated Corey Garcia in fifth place before Batra took the elimination responsibilities back.

Ayers was forced all-in from the big blind. Batra was UTG and opened to 25,000 on blinds of 5,000/10,000/10,000. Anderson called in the small blind.

Action checked through to showdown and Batra tabled QQ which eliminated Ayers in fourth place for $360.

Batra: Q♥Q
Anderson: A4
Ayers: Q3
Board: J63T8
