Two Steps Closer

[user75032]

Ashish Gupta - eliminated

Simultaneous bust-outs on each of the two remaining tables have taken us two steps closer to the final table. At the feature table, Marsha Waggoner moved all in for 4,100 after Derek Raymond limped in. Rainer Quel and Raymond both called. They each checked the {3-Clubs}

{3-Clubs}

{2-Diamonds}

{Q-Spades}

flop. Quel bet the {10-Clubs}

{10-Clubs}

turn and was called. Both players checked the {6-Diamonds}

{6-Diamonds}

river. Quel showed {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

{Q-Clubs}

{8-Spades}

{2-Spades}

for two pair and a weak low. Raymond showed {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{j-Clubs}

{7-Hearts}

{2-Clubs}

for a slightly better low. Waggoner was left in between, showing {K-Diamonds}

{K-Diamonds}

{K-Clubs}

{9-Clubs}

{6-Clubs}

. She's out.

At the other table, Ashish Gupta was all in on a flop of {7-Clubs}

{7-Clubs}

{4-Clubs}

{5-Hearts}

. Danny Mountt called, tabling {Q-Diamonds}

{Q-Diamonds}

{3-Diamonds}

{2-Hearts}

{9-Clubs}

. Gupta has the better hand with {7-Diamonds}

{7-Diamonds}

{K-Diamonds}

{3-Spades}

{J-Spades}

and improved on the turn {J-Clubs}

{J-Clubs}

. But the river was a very unkind {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

to make a wheel for Mountt, giving him both halves of the pot.
