Jishant Sapra, chip leader coming into Day 3, suffered a painful exit. He doubled the blind to 1M from the under-the-gun position, and the action was folded twice to Morgan Aceto.

Aceto, who had announced before that he would bluff every time Sapra would get involved, shoved all-in, covering him by a little. Sapra didn’t wait too long before making the call.

Aceto:
Sapra:

Board:

Sapra needed to fade all four 5s to survive and reclaim his stranglehold on the table. Fate, however, had it otherwise, and Aceto took the pot and a monster lead, cheering the gutshot and declaring that a promise is a promise.

Sapra endured a terrible beat and some trash talk for dessert, but he nevertheless walks home with $28,000 for his 5th place. He walked away in a flash, but came back to the table a few hands later to shake all hands. Great sport, well done sir!
