Ash Gupta Eliminated in 8th Place (AU$8,815/$6,045)

Level 18 : 6,000/12,000, 0 ante
Ash Gupta
Ash Gupta

Ash Gupta (button) and Yalcin Kaya (big blind) got into a pre-flop raising war that saw all the chips go in, with Gupta the man whose tournament life was on the line.

Yalcin Kaya: {a-Spades}{k-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{8-Diamonds}
Ash Gupta: {a-Diamonds}{q-Spades}{j-Hearts}{7-Hearts}

Both hands were fairly close in equity, and while Gupta hit the {10-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{8-Spades} flop, so did Kaya, who spiked two-pair on the {k-Clubs} turn to take the lead in the hand, though Gupta still had plenty of outs with an open-ended straight draw.

However, the {10-Hearts} river was not one of them and Gupta hit the rail in eighth for AU$8,815 to set up the final table. Kaya stacked up to 580,000 after the hand.
