Gorr Finds a Taker

The player under the gun came in raising to 15,000, and the player beside him made the call. Next to act was Johnny Huynh, and he bumped it up to 40,000. Action passed to the button, where David Gorr put in yet another raise, this time coming over top of the whole table with 100,000 chips. The first two players who had entered the pot ducked out, while Huynh made the call.

Heads up, the flop brought {Q-Clubs} {A-Diamonds} {5-Diamonds}. Huynh moved all in, having his opponent covered, and Gorr quickly made the call.

Showdown:
Huynh: {K-Hearts} {Q-Hearts}
Gorr: {A-Hearts} {A-Clubs}

Huynh was in the worst shape imaginable, drawing to runner-runner. The turn was the {K-Spades}, ending all hopes of an outdraw, and the river was a useless {3-Diamonds}. Gorr takes down the massive pot, doubling up to 370,000. Huynh is left with just 32,000.
