Gates Drinks a Double

Garry Gates
Garry Gates

A middle-aged gentleman opened with a raise to 700 before Garry Gates three-bet shoved two seats over. It was 7,375 total, and the raiser spent about a minute in the tank before making the call for a fraction of his big stack.

Showdown
Raiser: {A-Spades} {5-Clubs}
Gates: {8-Spades} {8-Diamonds}

The flop brought an ace, but it came {4-Spades} {8-Clubs} {A-Clubs} to give Gates the big lead with two to come. He leaned far over the table to make sure that middle card was his set, and the turn {K-Diamonds} and river {Q-Hearts} locked up his double. He's back over 15,000 and back in business.
