Gupta Nearly Triples; Then Doubles Edwards
Level 11
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Ashish Gupta was the second-biggest stack entering a three-way all-in showdown in which Justin Bonomo had two players at risk.
The shortest stack tabled the A?Qx while Gupta had a pair in 7?7?. Bonomo had both of them crushed with the K?K? but Gupta made quads on the 10?7?3?7?J? runout.
Shortly after, however, Gupta suffered a setback when he flipped against Tom Edwards for 40,500 in chips.
Tom Edwards: 8?8?
Ashish Gupta: A?Q?
The pair remained ahead all the way on a K?J?3?3?2? board, as Gupta's stack was cut into more than half. Moments later, the vacated seat at the table was filled by Phil Hellmuth.
