Gupta gets respect

Five players saw an unraised flop of 9 8 6. The blinds checked to Mark James, who led out for 1900. Colin Pearson, on his immediate left, raised to 5500 and Rakesh Gupta moved all-in from the button for an additional 28600. The blinds folded without fuss and then time seemed to slow as James and Pearson agonised before making predictable folds. James indicated he folded pocket sevens. Gupta said it was a good fold.
