Hi, Garrrrrrry!

Level 14 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

The table folded around to the button, and the player there opened to 4,200. In the big blind, Garry Gates took a minute counting down his short stack before moving all 17,700 of his chips across the betting line. His opponent quickly called, and the news was not good for Gates as the cards were turned up:

Gates: {Q-Hearts} {J-Clubs}
Opponent: {A-Hearts} {Q-Diamonds}

Drawing slim for his survival, Gates had to love the {10-Diamonds} {10-Hearts} {J-Hearts} flop that vaulted him into a big lead. He still had to sweat a bit with two to come, but the turn and river were blanks, the {4-Clubs} and {6-Diamonds} respectively.

Finding his three-outer, Gates has climbed back into the game with that double up, sitting now with more than 36,000.
