Phil Gordon Busts Someone On His Way to 34,000

After a flop of {10-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{3-Spades}, Phil Gordon checks, Jason Alexander bets 800, the player in the cutoff raises to 2,000, and Phil Gordon nonchalantly tosses in 6,000 without saying a word.

Jason Alexander looks at Gordon and asks, "Really? Six thousand?" Alexander wants to make sure Gordon didn't accidentally bet too many chips before he folds.

The player in the cutoff thinks for a long time before he finally calls. The turn card is the {8-Diamonds}, and Gordon moves all in for 9,575. His opponent calls with {A-Clubs}{10-Clubs} for top pair, top kicker. Gordon flips over {3-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} and calmly says, "You're drawing dead." The meaningless river card is the {2-Clubs}, and the other player is eliminated.

Phil Gordon is now up to about 34,000 in chips.
