Gamez Survives the Bubble
Level 17
: 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Richard Gamez open-shoved on the button for 223,000 and Timothy Votava reshoved in the small blind to isolate. The player in the big blind got out of the way.
Richard Gamez: J♦8♠ 
Timothy Votava: A♣J♣
The flop came 5♦10♦3♠ with Votava's ace-jack still far out in the lead. Gamez picked up outs to a flush draw and a gutshot on the 7♦ turn, and got there on the 4♦ river to stay alive.
