Ash Gupta Eliminated in 8th Place (AU$8,815/$6,045)
Level 18
: 6,000/12,000, 0 ante
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: 
Ash Gupta: 
Both hands were fairly close in equity, and while Gupta hit the 
flop, so did Kaya, who spiked two-pair on the 
turn to take the lead in the hand, though Gupta still had plenty of outs with an open-ended straight draw.
However, the 
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.
