Tony Kambouroglou is running pretty well at the moment and has amassed quite the tidy stack, padding it out a little more with a successful squeeze play.

It was Vikrant Gupta the man driving the action initially with an under-the-gun open to 1,400, picking up two callers before the action folded around to Kambouroglou in the big blind.

Kambouroglou peeked down at his hole cards and squeezed to 6,000 to send Gupta into the tank.

"Do you have pocket tens?" he queried, but Kambouroglou was giving nothing away and Gupta eventually folded, as did the other two callers, leaving Kambouroglou to pad out his stack a little more to climb to 160,000.

Gupta gave it another go the next hand, popping it up to 1,700 in the small blind with the recently moved Jason Gilbert making the call in the big blind to take the action heads-up to a flop of {k-Spades}{2-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}, which brought a continuation bet of 1,800 from Gupta and another call from Gilbert.

The {10-Clubs} turn saw Gupta load up another barrel and fire for 3,300, which was enough to take the pot when Gilbert mucked.
