Opener 1D: Chowhan Sends Out Balasubramanian

After a preflop betting war, all of the chips between Faizan Chowhan and Pradeep Balasubramanian found their way into the middle, with Chowhan covering. 

Balasubramanian flipped over K♣Q♥ but was in rough shape as Chowhan had him dominated with A♥Q♠.

Sure enough, the runout of 8♦5♠3♣Q♦J♦ meant Chowhan's ace-kicker played to send Balasubramanian to the exit. 

Chowhan - 240,000
Balasubramanian - 0
