Prince Doubles Then Busts Courtesy of Syed
Level 11
: Blinds 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante
Jean "Prince" Gaspard registered in the tournament just minutes ago and found himself doubling up with aces against Robert Strunk.
The very next hand Syed called on the button and in the big blind, Gaspard raised to 9,500 to see Syed call.
"Smoke bet," said Gaspard as he tossed out 10,000 prior to the flop of 7♣6♣3♦ coming out. Syed moved all in for 83,000 effective and Gaspard beat him into the pot.
Areef Syed: 8♥7♥
Jean "Prince" Gaspard: A♥A♠
Gaspard was ahead on the flop, but the turn 8♣ put Syed in front with the river 5♥ holding up for him to eliminate the WSOP bracelet winner from the tournament.
