Cupido Spikes the River to Bust Gani
Level 28
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Michael Cupido made it 225,000 to go with A♣4♣ first to act and Muaaz Gani flat-called with the A♥Q♠ in the cutoff, Naven Naicker came along out of the big blind with the last queen in the deck as Q♥9♠.The A♦8♣5♠ flop saw Cupido bet 200,000 with his top pair, only Gani called.
The 6♣ turn gave the big stack the nut flush draw on top and Cupido eyeballed the stack of Gani before betting big. Gani called all-in and needed to fade any four, seven or club to survive. However, the J♣ river brought one of those many outs as Cupido improved to a flush and let the final table bubble burst.
