Ace-High Good for Gay

GeoffFisk
GeoffFisk
Level 10 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Neal Gay opened to 3,100 from the hijack, and Ronan Babos called in the big blind.

Both players checked the {4-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{j-Spades} flop. Babos checked the {5-Spades} turn, Gay bet 3,100, and Babos called.

Both players checked the {2-Hearts} river, and Gay showed {a-Spades}{7-Spades}, which was good enough to take down the pot, as Babos mucked.

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Leonardo Palermo opened to 3,000 in early position, the button and small blind both called, and the big blind shoved for 35,000.

Big Blind: {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}

Board: {9-Hearts}{k-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{10-Clubs}

Neal Gay opened to 3,600 under the gun, Pernell Parker three-bet all in for 19,700, and the big blind four-bet all in, having both Gay and Parker covered.
