Gulati Doubles Into Commanding Lead
Level 32
: Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante
Diane Walker made it 1 million to go on the button with the 6♠6♦ and Saurabh Gulati called with 10♣9♥, then checked the A♣10♠5♣ flop. Walker bet 2 million and Gulati opted to call after brief consideration.
Almost one third of the chips in play were in the middle to the 8♦ turn and Gulati checked, Walker checked behind. The 10♥ on the river saw Gulati declare "all of it" for his shove worth 4.9 million and Walker placed her time bank out in front of the chips before checking her remaining stack.
She used two of them and called to fall back to a short stack, reversing the scenario from earlier in the heads-up duel with a four-to-one lead.
