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.
