Ruban Doubles Through Gupta Part II
Level 43
: Blinds 2,000,000/4,000,000, 4,000,000 ante
Ivan Ruban opened to 13,000,000 with 11,000,000 behind and it folded to Ashish Gupta in the big blind, who inquired about his stack size. "Twenty four again?" he asked and eventually decided to "gamble" to push all-in with the covering stack, Ruban called.
Ivan Ruban: A♦3♠ 
Ashish Gupta: Q♣9♣
The A♠J♣5♦ flop gave Ruban top pair but Gupta had back door options. One came with the 4♣ turn and Gupta needed another club to deal the final blow. Instead, it was the Q♠ and Ruban doubled once again through the Aussie.
