Gates Takes This One

From under the gun, Jani Sointula raised to 11,000. Garry "Beast Mode" Gates called from the next seat and then Marius Maciukas called from the next seat. Everyone else folded and the flop came down {10-}{6-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}. Sointula was up first and checked. Gates also checked and then Maciukas fired 18,000. Sointula folded, but Gates made the call to see the turn.

Fourth street was the {J-Diamonds} and Gates checked. Maciukas checked behind. The river then completed the board with the {J-Hearts}. With the board now paired, Gates fired 32,500. Maciukas insta-mucked and Gates won the pot.
