Immediately after Austin Walton’s fall, Kai Paulsen joined him on the rail. Paulsen moved all in with his 193k short stack and big stacked Varun Gupta called.
Paulsen K♦ 10♥
Gupta 5♦ 5♥
The board ran 3♦ 2♠ 6♥ Q♥ 3♣ and with Gupta’s pair holding strong, Paulsen exited in 5th place. He earned HKD 94,200 for his impressive finish at the Main Event.
Gupta has now climbed to 1.4M and is catching up to chip leader Jack Wu.
