Gabriel Racing For Survival

[user66118]

Gino Gabriel opened to 26,000 in middle position, and Jeff Sarwer called in the middle. A few seats over, Ruben Visser squeezed in a raise to 88,000, and it came right back to Gabriel. After a moment, he announced an all in for 260,000 total. Sarwer quickly ducked out, but Visser made the call with the covering stack.

Showdown
Gabriel: {Q-Clubs}

{Q-Clubs}

{Q-Diamonds}

Visser:

{A-Clubs}

{K-Clubs}

The flop nearly locked it up for Gabriel as it came out {9-Clubs}

{9-Clubs}

{Q-Hearts}

{5-Hearts}

. Top set was going to be hard to beat, and the {3-Spades}

{3-Spades}

on the turn ended the hand right here. A useless {J-Diamonds}

{J-Diamonds}

fell on the river as Visser was already passing the chips across the table.

After that exchange, Visser is down to 302,000, doubling Gabriel up to about 560,000.
