Gazes Doing Work
![[user66118]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
When we walked up to the table preflop, the player under the gun and Bill Gazes (UTG+1) were mixed up in a raising war. Mr. UTG had 5,000 out in front of him (a four-bet?), and Gazes had responded with another 26,000 chips out in front of his own stack. That was enough to cover his opponent who eventually shoved all in after agonizing in the tank. He was relieved to see he was flipping for his tournament life:
Showdown
Gazes: 
Opponent: 
The 
flop was a good start for Gazes, and the pocket jacks were in trouble. The turn and river were both paint cards, but the 
and 
were swings and misses.
That's another player off to the exit, and Gazes is stacking up that pot to move close to 60,000.
