Gower Scores a Knockout Before Dinner
Level 7
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
In three way action to the 10♥8♥5♠ flop, a shorter stack opted to jam for around 28,000 and Jacques Marais asked for a count to then call. Chris Gower, who had just received his dinner order, quickly called while Marais still flashed his cards to Theuns Prinsloo.
The short stack tabled the A♣10♠ for top pair and top kicker, but was in rough shape against the 8♠8♦ of Gower. Some hope came with the A♥ turn but the 7♥ river secured the pot for Gower.
