Gordon Doubles Up

[user22113]

Phil Gordon was all in before the flop with {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{J-Hearts}

and was called by an opponent who held pocket queens.

The {9-Spades}

{9-Spades}

{7-Clubs}

{8-Spades}

flop gave Phil four additional outs, after which he called out, "Ten!" Sure enough, the {10-Diamonds}

{10-Diamonds}

fell on the turn, giving Phil a jack-high straight. The river was an irrelevant {7-Diamonds}

{7-Diamonds}

and the double up brought Phil's total chip count to 25,000.
