Big stack battle, Varun Gupta surges past 2M


With four players remaining, the big stacks were bound to engage in a heated pot which we just witnessed moments ago. Jack En-Ching Wu raised to 45k, Varun Gupta and Shyh Chyn Lim called.

On the flop 8 7 7, Wu continued with a 60k bet and only Gupta called. On the K turn, another 125k was fired out by Wu and Gupta called. On the A river, Wu laid out a heftier 200k bet and Gupta was not going anywhere. He called and turned over J 10 flush to defeat Wu’s Q 10 air.

Two hands after, Gupta won a sizable pot against Shyh Chyn Lim with a winning straight to drive his stack into the 2M mark. Wu slips down to 1M while Lim falls to 400k.
