Pocket Aces Right Out The Gate for Gates
Level 7
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Soon after the dinner break, Brian Gates opened under the gun to find one caller out of the big blind.
The board came 5♠9♥5♥ and the action checked through.
A turn of the 7♣ brought some action as the big blind now chose to lead for 2,200. Gates called.
The K♣ slowed down the out-of-position player as he opted to check to Gates who fired 6,200, around two-thirds of the pot. After some time in the tank, the big blind eventually called and Gates tabled A♥A♣, besting his opponent's holdings to win the pot.
