Phil Gordon - New Chipleader

[user22113]
[user22113]
From nearly out to dominating the event - and nearly taking out a former chipleader to do it. Here's how:

Mihail Karasoulis limps under the gun. UTG+1 raises to 2900. Phil Gordon and Mihail call. The board is 7-8-3 rainbow. Gordon bets 8,000 and Mihail minraises to 16,000. The third guy folds. Gordon shoves and Mihail calls.

Mihail has 9-10 for the two way straight draw and Gordon has Q-Q. The folder had kings and feared trips. The board does not complete Mihail's straight and Gordon takes a monster pot. He's at 98,000 and Mihail is down to a few chips.
