Gates Coolered Off, Run Out

Garry Gates (on Day 1)
Garry Gates (on Day 1)

We were just about to check on Garry Gates when we bumped into him a few feet away from his table. He was smirking, but we know that frown-smirk when we see it. He had just been eliminated.

Gates proceeded to tell us about his demise, the result of a blind-versus-blind battle with Johnny Kincaid. Gates opened to 3,500 in the small, and Kincaid flatted to see the {K-} {5-} {3-} flop. Kincaid flatted another bet of 5,200 there, and Gates fired another 13,000 on the {J-} turn. Now Kincaid put in a raise to 33,000 to force his opponent's move. Gates had started the hand with just less than 80,000, and his {K-} {5-} was good enough to call it off for his tournament life.

It was no good. Kincaid had out-flopped him with {3-} {3-}, and Gates could not fill up on the river to stay alive.

His Main Event is done.
