Clements Catches a King, Gupta Gets His Wish
Level 19
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 0 ante
2-7 Triple Draw
Ash Gupta stood pat on the first draw and bet as Scott Clements, who drew three, called.
Gupta again stood pat and bet and Clements, who took two this time, called. "Absolutely hideous," Gupta said heading to the final draw, where he patted once more.
Clements took one. "Any kings left in the deck, dealer," Gupta asked as Clements checked and he checked behind. Gupta turned over a 9-7 and Clements did, indeed, catch a king as Gupta won the pot.
"You have a pair of nines," tablemate Owais Ahmed joked.
"I shouldn't have been drinking," Gupta replied with a laugh.
