Gerlin Chips Up Without Showdown
Level 10
: 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Action was heads up between the under-the-gun Christopher Laieta and Jermaine "The Lion" Gerlin, who was in middle position with more than 25,000 already in the middle on a board reading 
.
Laieta fired out a bet of 14,500 and Gerlin confirmed the amount, making the call shortly thereafter to bring the river 
. Laieta took a few moments to consider his options and then checked, looking down the table towards his opponent. Once Laieta checked, Gerlin immediately threw out five 5,000 chips for a bet of 25,000, and Laieta let his hand go without much further thought to earn Gerlin the pot without showdown.
