Big Hand to Start the Final Table

Jeremy Geist

Level 28 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Action was opened by Soukha Kachittavong in early position to 250,000. He got a call in middle position from Matthew Gross, and the small blind. The flop landed Q♣10♣3♥ and the small blind checked. Kachittavong continued for 625,000 and action was on Gross. He didn't think long before moving all in having both of the players covered.

The small blind folded and action was back on Kachittavong who was in the tank. He thought it over long and hard but eventually returned his cards to the dealer.

Gross flashed the K♣4♣ before mucking and smiled. Another player at the table remarked "Set the tone! Matt came to play!"

Gross simply replied "I came to win"
