Batra Holds; Eliminates Lynch (1E-T)

Written by Kyle | Sep 19, 2025 5:33:57 AM

With 15-minute levels in the turbo flights, it's all about building a stack or getting into the next flight.

Aditya Batra opened to 10,000 UTG on blinds of 1,500/3,000/3,000. Action folded around to Walter Lynch's big blind and he moved all-in. Batra made the call and slightly covered Lynch.

Batra: 5♣5♠
Lynch: A♦T
Board: QJJ64

The flop helped Lynch pick up additional outs. Lynch could now find a gutshot to broadway, counterfeit outs with the board-pairing jacks, or a backdoor flush draw to go along with his over cards. Too many outs. The turn and river bricked out for Lynch and he was prevented from finding a second bag.

Lynch had just bagged the chip lead in flight D. Batra and the eleven remaining players in Turbo Flight E are still looking to reach the money and bag by the end of the night.

Thomas Morgado and Daniel Anderson are still in the field. Both players are eligible for the $1,000 multi-bag bonus; Morgado was just moved to Batra's table. Play resumes.

Flight E Payouts
1st-3rd: Day Two
4th: $360

Don't miss out on the action. There are plenty of opportunities to win big over the next few days; 12.5% of each flight will finish in the money with the top 8% moving on to Day Two.
