Bownds Eliminated by Gupta

Level 8 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Ash Gupta raised to 2,400 from the cutoff before Ryan Bownds re-raised to 7,100 from the big blind. Gupta called.

"Jackpot," said Bownds, as he waited for Gupta to decide on his next move.

"For someone," replied Gupta, as he took a moment, before sliding out 40,000 which had Bownds covered.

"I told myself I was going to call no matter what," Bownds added, before committing his stack in.

Ash Gupta: {10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}
Ryan Bownds: {a-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}

The board ran out the {9-Spades} and {2-Hearts} to see Bownds unable to improve as he hit the rail.
