Gordon's Gamble Pays Off

Level 4 : 300/500, 500 ante

Tu Dao bet 7,000 on a flop of {6-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} and Joshua Gordon called. The turn came the {3-Spades}. Dao then put a large stack of big chips in the middle, enough to put Gordon all in. Gordon smiled and said "alright I'll gamble" and made the call.

Dao had {k-}{k-} while Gordon was drawing with the {a-Spades}{4-Spades}. The river rewarded Gordon's gamble when the {q-Spades} binked off to give him the flush and the double up.
