Level 8 : 300/600, 600 ante

Danny Gonzales opened to 2,100 from early position and received calls from Bob Sweeney in the cutoff as well as the player in the big blind. The flop came and action checked to Sweeney, who announced a bet of 6,000.

Bob Sweeney:

Gonzales found himself outkicking Sweeney with two cards to come before securing a double. However, Sweeney also had outs to a gutshot straight draw.
