Gupta Cracks Kings to Double
Level 42
: Blinds 1,500,000/3,000,000, 3,000,000 ante
Daniel Lei raised to 6,000,000 from under the gun and Ashish Gupta three-bet jammed for 31,000,000 in middle position to put himself at risk. Ivan Ruban made the call in the small blind and Lei got out of the way.
Ashish Gupta: 10♦10♣ 
Ivan Ruban: K♥K♦
The flop came 9♥Q♥3♣ with Ruban still out in the lead with a pair of kings. That was until the 10♥ fell on the turn, with Gupta improving to trips.
Ruban still had outs with the king, jack, or heart but Gupta was able to fade it when the 8♠ rolled off on the river, earning him the double up.
