Gohbrial Gets it Done with Big Slick

Jim Gohbrial snapped off a bluff and as a result is the chip leader of the tournament. Sitting in the big blind, he called a preflop raise to 1,600. The flop came down {7-Clubs} {8-Diamonds} {K-Diamonds}. Gohbrial checked to the raiser, who made it 3,000 to go. Gohbrial check-raised to 10,000, possibly expecting to take the hand down right there. Instead his opponent three-bet the pot all in.

Gohbrial didn't have an easy decision with {A-Spades} {K-Spades}, but he ended up making the right one when he called all in for less. His opponent turned over {A-Clubs} {8-Clubs} for middle pair. The turn and river were the {9-Diamonds} and the {K-Hearts}, making Gohbrial the winner with trip kings.

It took Gohbrial several minutes to stack his chips after that massive pot. We've estimated his count at about 75,000.
