Gupta's House Too Big for Topakas

[user67765]

The action flop was {K-Hearts}

{K-Hearts}

{Q-Spades}

{Q-Diamonds}

with Ashish Gupta betting out and Steve Topakas putting in the raise. Gupta made the call.

The turn was the {5-Diamonds}

{5-Diamonds}

and Gupta check-raised the bet from Topakas who made the call. The river was where things got crazy when the {2-Spades}

{2-Spades}

bricked. The action was capped on the river with a series of bets as both players felt they held the goods.

Gupta: {K-Spades}

{K-Spades}

{K-Clubs}

{5-Spades}

{5-Clubs}

Topakas:

{Q-Clubs}

{5-Hearts}

-X-X

Incredibly both tabled full houses with Gupta taking it down with kings full of queens to climb up to 9,100 to leave Topakas, who finished second in yesterday's opening event, in trouble on 1,700.
