Gabriel Flops a Set to Soar Up the Leaderboard
Level 17
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Thomas Gabriel was heads-up with the small blind in a three-bet pot. With around 350,000 in the middle already, the board read K♣4♣2♦J♥ and the small blind checked on the turn. Gabriel slid out a stack of 25,000 chips and his opponent thought for a minute before calling off his stack of around 400,000.
Small Blind: K♠Q♥
Thomas Gabriel: 4♠4♥
Gabriel flopped a set of fours and had his opponent drawing dead with just top pair. The insignificant 8♥ completed the board and Gabriel raked in a healthy pot.
