Gazes Grinding

Bill Gazes is trying to get something going on Orange #6. After taking a few small early hits, he announced to his table that he intended to triple up on the next hand. After a player raised to 1,300 from the button and was called by the small blind, Gazes reraised to 4,100 from the big blind. Both players folded.

A few hands later, Gazes bet 5,500 on the turn of a three-way pot with the board showing {9-Spades} {4-Spades} {2-Spades} {10-Diamonds}. That bet was enough to fold his two opponents and win Gazes another pot.

He has restored his stack to about 24,000.
