Gardocki Spikes Gin

Lou Gardocki shoved all in for 42,000 in a three-handed pot with the board reading {4-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}. The player in the cutoff called, and the big blind called as well. The dealer burned and turned the {10-Hearts}, leading both active players to check.

"Ship it," Gardocki said, turning over {j-Clubs}{7-Clubs}. He'd held a double-gutshot straight draw, and gotten there on the river.

The big blind showed down {10-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} for a missed combo draw, and the cutoff showed {a-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds} for another missed draw that was actually best on the turn.

"God, I had him smashed with ace-high," the cutoff said. "I didn't even need to hit anything."

Gardocki did hit something, though, and he's now sitting with over 100 big blinds at 600-1,200.
