Gutterball Gets There For Palavos

George Palavos
George Palavos
Four players limped in to see a flop of {K-Clubs}{J-Clubs}{3-Hearts}. The action checked around to George Palavos who moved all in for his last 63,000 chips. He forced two players to fold but Lawrence Gibson wasn't going anywhere as he made the call.

Gibson: {A-Clubs}{J-Spades}
Palavos: {A-Hearts}{10-Clubs}

Gibson's top pair was well in front as Palavos would need to hit something special to survive. The {J-Diamonds} turn improved Gibson to trips and left Palavos needing to hit his gutshot straight.

The dealer burned and flipped the {Q-Clubs} to give Palavos a Broadway straight and a remarkable double up. He's back up to 182,000.
