"That's a big shove. That is a big shove," said Uvaydov, ultimately tossing his cards into the muck.

"You have like 40 bigs right? Might have folded the best hand," continued Uvaydov as the pot was pushed [Removed:549]'s way.

Ashish Gupta limped in from the small blind and David Uvaydov raised it up to 12,000,000. After brief consideration, Gupta pushed all-in for 86,000,000 and Uvaydov instantly called.

Ashish Gupta: Q♥J♠ All in
David Uvaydov: A♥Q♠

The Aussie needed to come from behind again to avoid elimination like he had done very early into the final table already. However, this time there was no escaping on the K♦Q♣6♣5♦6♥ and that spelled the end for Gupta.

Having come into the final last in chips, the Pot-Limit Omaha and mixed game specialist laddered up all the way to third place for a payday of $604,277 - his far best cash in a live poker tournament. The tournament is now in heads-up and a short break follows before Uvaydov and [Removed:548] will battle for the WSOP gold bracelet.
