Phil Gordon is on to the Sweet 16
Phil Gordon is on to the Sweet 16

A series of pre-flop raises between Greg Raymer and Phil Gordon got all the chips in pre-flop. Gordon had a very small lead to start the hand.

At showdown Raymer opened {q-Spades}{q-Hearts} and Gordon tabled {a-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}. Gordon flopped top pair, {6-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{k-Hearts} to take the lead. The turn {j-Spades} gave Raymer an up-and-down straight draw that did not fill with a river {5-Clubs}. Raymer was eliminated (but not before giving Gordon a big hug).

Phil Gordon update count: 1.
