Lupascu Straightens Out Gabsi in Huge Pot
Level 17
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
At least 280,000 was in the middle in a hand between Slim Gabsi and Matei Lupascu, with the board reading 7♦4♠A♣7♠5♠.
Lupascu checked to Gabsi, who moved all in for 200,000.
Lupascu went deep into the tank, taking at least five minutes, peering at the board and counting his chips. Eventually a table mate called the clock.
When it got down to 15 seconds, Lupascu suddenly made the call.
Gabsi, who had almost been in a trance during the time Lupascu was taking to make his decision, looked shocked and had to check Lupascu had indeed said call.
Gabsi turned over A♠5♦ for a pair of aces, while Lupascu had 10♠7♣ for a set of sevens, sending him a huge pot.
