Gathy Gets a Bubble Double
Level 17
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Michael Gathy opened to 25,000 from the hijack and was three-bet to 82,000 by Didier Guerin in the small blind. Gathy responded with a shove for 374,000 total and Guerin called to put Gathy at risk.
Michael Gathy: Q♦Q♣
Didier Guerin: K♠K♥
Gathy was in trouble against Guerin's Cowboys, but the J♣9♣8♦ gave him additional outs to a straight.
The 10♥ turn got shouts of disappointment from onlookers as Gathy improved to a straight, and the 2♦ river changed nothing — awarding Gathy the double to keep the money bubble going.
