Going, Going, Gonzalez

Level 20 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Carlos Yerbes Gonzalez opened the pot to 21,000 from late position, and Anthony Picault three-bet to 55,000 from the small blind. Gonzalez shoved in for 191,000 total, and Picault called very quickly with his covering stack.

Showdown
Gonzalez: {6-Diamonds} {7-Diamonds}
Picault: {A-Spades} {K-Hearts}

The {9-Clubs} {A-Hearts} {6-Clubs} flop was not particularly good for the at-risk Gonzalez, pairing both players to keep him in the hole. The {5-Diamonds} turn was a good sweat, though, giving him a gutterball draw and another four outs to the double.

River: {8-Diamonds}

That'll do it. Gonzalez slammed his fist down on the felt with a loud, "Yes!" then apologized to the man he'd just doubled through. This one brings him right back to 400,000 on the nose.
