Gibson Doubles Through Ker

Lawrence Gibson
Lawrence Gibson
Beng Ker raised to 28,000 and Lawrence Gibson made the call to see a flop of {5-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{10-Clubs}.

Ker decided to move all in to put maximum pressure on his short-stacked opponent but it backfired as Gibson insta-called with {8-Spades}{8-Diamonds} for a set of eights as Ker showed {9-Clubs}{9-Spades}.

The turn was the {q-Clubs} and river the {A-Spades} and Gibson doubles through to nearly 300,000 chips.
