Gupta Gulping

Level 8 : 300/600, 50 ante

Ash Gupta has taken another hit to his stack, having an opponent allin holding with Gupta's {q-Clubs}{k-Spades} needing some help against {a-Spades}{k-Clubs}.

The board would run out {j-Spades}{6-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{j-Hearts}, a slight sweat on the turn but no help for Gupta who now has under 3,000.

Skender Scoops Bounty

Level 8 : 300/600, 50 ante

Another bounty has been eliminated, with the AUD$1,000 going into the hands of Benn Skender.

Skender moved allin after the bounty players shove and another player from the small blind would come along for the ride having both players covered.

Bounty: {7-Diamonds}{7-Spades}
Small Blind: {9-Diamonds}{9-Spades}
Skender: {a-Diamonds}{k-Spades}

It was looking good for atleast one player to walk away with the bounty and with one card to come the board read {q-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{10-Spades}{3-Diamonds} looking like the nines would hold up, but the {a-Spades} on the river was good for Skender to take down the big pot and the AUD$1,000 bounty.

The Flip Of A Coin

Level 7 : 200/400, 50 ante

We came to the table with {10-Clubs}{3-Spades}{8-Diamonds} showing and a player faced with an allin bet from Milan Gurung.

It seemed like the player had already been in the tank for some time before our PokerNews reporter arrived and he continued to stay in the tank before saying he was torn as to what decision to make.

Eventually the player decided to literally flip a coin, taking a coin from his pocket and flying it into the air. When the coin landed heads he sighed and with a painful look made the call.

When Gurung turned over {q-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}, it was way in front of his own {k-Spades}{10-Spades} and a conversation about leaving decisions to chance broke out at the table. The player seemed upset at himself as Gurung took down the pot, saying that he never should have flipped the coin.

If Gurung had have turned over pocket-nines we are sure he would have been praising the coin.

Gurung sees his stack move to 25,000.

Eames Alive; Gupta Survives

Level 7 : 200/400, 50 ante

John Eames and Ash Gupta just battled head to head, with Eames' having his tournament life on the line holding {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} against Gupta's {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}.

Flop: {7-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{a-Clubs}

A good flop for Gupta as he was looking to knock Eames out and see his stack increase to over 30,000. The turn card had other ideas, falling the {10-Clubs} and when the river bricked it was a double-up for Eames.

Gupta now falls to around 8,500 while Eames moves to 25,000.

Heart Not Good Enough For Portaro

Level 7 : 200/400, 50 ante

With a raise in front, the player on the button moved his remaining 4,525 into the pot. Bruno Portaro was in the small blind and he made the call, while the initial bettor also came along to play.

The flop turned over {3-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{4-Hearts} and the allin player watched on as Bruno Portaro led out for 8,000. The other opponent in the pot would open fold {10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} and it would be just Portaro putting the other player in danger.

Portaro: {6-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}
Opponent: {8-Hearts}{8-Spades}

By the time the {2-Spades} rolled off on the turn, the folded tens would have been in front but when the {2-Hearts} came on the river it was a double-up for one player while Portaro takes a small hit to his stack.
