Monster Early Chip Stack for Gill

“I was so sure he would roll over queens and I’de still be like 40 percent to win the hand,” Gill told us after he managed to double his stack during these very early stages of Day 1a.

We arrived at the action with a flop out on the felt and this is when all the chips went in. We didn’t catch the preflop action, but Gill told us that he had opened it up to 250 from under the gun, the player on his direct left three-bet to 500, the small blind cold called and Gill also called.

On the flop, it was checked to the preflop aggressor and he led for 625. The small blind folded and Gill raised it up to 1,900. Gill’s opponent then raised to 8,000 – an amount Gill told us he was shocked at seeing, but nonetheless, Gill jammed for just over 20,000. The player called off his starting stack and tabled . Gill had for a combo draw.
