HomeVarun Gupta has just stormed into second command after winning a nice beefy pot against Austin Walton. The hand began with a raise by Gupta from the cutoff seat and big blind Walton called the 38k.
At the flop 4♠ 9♣ 6♣, both quietly checked. On the Q♠ turn, Walton checked, Gupta bet 30k, and it was off to the river with Walton calling. On the river 7♦, Walton checked, Gupta bet 60k, Walton sized up Gupta’s stack then check-raised to 200k. Gupta was unfazed and called.
Walton 5♦ 4♥ bottom pair
Gupta Q♦ J♥ top pair
Gupta climbed to nearly 1M in chips while Walton dropped to around 500k.
