Gabriel Thaler Advances

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

After falling behind, Gabe Thaler doubled up when he moved all in with A-9 and was called by his opponent's A-8. That hand gave Thaler the lead and he closed out the match when he called an all-in bet with pocket threes. His opponent had A-3, didn't catch an ace, and Thaler advanced.
