Rodrigues Scores Huge Double Through Disbelieving Gupta
Level 25
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Michael Rodrigues raised to 100,000 on the button and got three-bet by Ashish Gupta in the big blind. Rodrigues called to see the flop.
It came 9?9?8? and Gupta led out for 150,000. Rodrigues then potted it to 1,175,000, sending Gupta into the tank.
After a couple of minutes, Gupta moved all in and Rodrigues called, creating another near four million chip pot.
Michael Rodrigues: 9?6?5?4?
Ashish Gupta: A?A?K?2?
Gupta told Rodrigues he didn't think he had a nine, but indeed he did. The 7? river brought Gupta some hope for half the pot with a low, but the 8? double-paired the board, sending the massive pot to Rodrigues, who is now poised to add significantly more points in his chase for WSOP Player of the Year.
