Phil Gordon Laps Opponents

[user22113]

The player in seat 6 bets 8500 and three other players call including Brandon Ruttley and Phil Gordon. The flop is {9-Spades}

{9-Spades}

{4-Clubs}

{2-Diamonds}

and one player checks. Ruttley makes it 30,000 and Gordon goes all in. Ruttley tanks for several minutes.
"Set?" Ruttley says.
"My pair is no good?" he tries.
Gordon is stone cold silent.

The floor is called, but before they reach the table Ruttley makes the call. He has {J-Clubs}

{J-Clubs}

{J-Spades}

for the overpair, but Gordon has {4-Diamonds}

{4-Diamonds}

{4-Hearts}

for a set of fours. The rest is {Q-Clubs}

{Q-Clubs}

{8-Spades}

and Ruttley storms away.

Gordon has twice as many chips as his nearest competitor.
