Gillespie Goes for the Check-Raise
Level 23
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Neil O'Reilly was in the cutoff and opened the action with a raise to 45,000. Only big blind Patrick Gillespie obliged and the two were off to the flop.
On 
Gillespie checked before raising O'Reilly's 40,000 continuation-bet to 115,000. O'Reilly put in three T-25,000 chips more for the call and the turn was dealt.
On the 
turn Gillespie bet again, this time for the large sum of 275,000. This was too much for O'Reilly as he let his hand go.
Gillespie told his adversary that he had a good hand while he added enough chips to his stack to shoot over a million.
