Gill Slowplays, Then Folds

[user66118]

Carter Gill opened with a raise to 500 from early position, and got called by a player behind him, as well as the man in the small blind position. Three handed, the flop brought {J-Spades} {3-Hearts} {3-Spades}. The small blind and Gill both checked, and the middle-position player bet out 500. That was enough to get one man out, but Carter Gill made the flat call.

Heads up now, the turn came the {10-Spades}. Gill checked again, and his opponent asked for a count. When he learned Gill's total, he waved both of his hands forward in the universal "all-in" gesture.

Gill went into the tank for a few minutes, lamenting his position. "I was slowplaying on the flop, too!" he said. "Now I can't think of anything I can beat." With that, he released his hand, and is left with 6,550 chips.

Of note is the fact that Victor Ramdin has just joined this table, with Carter Gill and last year's San Jose champion Valdemar Kwaysser, giving Table 18 a run for its money as the toughest table going.
