board, with around 350,000 in the middle, and Daniel Klicman leading out for 150,000.

Behind two limpers, former professional footballer Anthony Gardner put in a raise to 60,000 from the hijack. The player on the button very quickly made a 3-bet to 160,000, folding everyone else out. Gardner shrugged and put the lot in for 280,000 and was called instantly.
Gardner was happy to find himself in a flip situation, with his ![]()

. The ![]()
![]()

turn made things much better. The
river was a brick, and Gardner picked up the full double.
