Level 12
: 600/1,200, 200 ante
When the table folded around to his button, Garry Gates moved all in for about 19,000. Right next door, one of the few remaining ladies, Lisa Parsons called all in for just less than Gates' amount, and the two were heads up for their stacks.
Gates: 
Parsons: 
The 
flop was fairly safe for the lady, but the 
mean she'd also need to sweat the straight and the flush draws with one card to come. Gates would not make his straight or his flush...
River: 
...but that ace of diamonds will do rather nicely. Spiking his better pair on the end, Gates earns the knockout and the near-double-up to about 37,000. Parsons' day is done.
