Curry's Gamble Pays Off

Level 35 : 400,000/800,000, 800,000 ante

Adrian Curry raised to 2,400,000, and action folded to Beau Battista, who three-bet shoved his remaining 12,800,000.

When action folded back around to Curry he made the call, saying, "Gamble, I came here to win," and the players tabled their hands.

Beau Battista: {a-Hearts}{j-Hearts}
Adrian Curry: {5-Clubs}{5-Hearts}

The gamble didn't look too good on the {a-Clubs}{10-Spades}{7-Clubs}{9-Spades} board, but that all changed when the dealer put the {5-Spades} on the river, which gave Curry a set and eliminated Battista from the tournament.

Battista took it all in stride, saying it was ok because he had pretty much done the same thing to another player earlier in the tournament.
