Never a Dull Moment

Shamus

Carter Gill has been either the chip leader or near the chip lead for a good part of the afternoon. He's been involved in many pots, and his stack has been fluctuating between 35,000 and 70,000. He currently sits at around 68,000 after this hand:

After calling a 6,000 preflop bet, Gill led out on a flop of {4-Spades}

{4-Spades}

{Q-Spades}

{9-Spades}

and the preflop raiser called. Both players checked down the {Q-Diamonds}

{Q-Diamonds}

turn and

{K-Diamonds}

river. Gill showed {5-Spades}

{5-Spades}

{7-Spades}

{8-Hearts}

{8-Clubs}

for a seven-high flush, his opponent showed A-A-Q-x for trip queens, and Gill took down the pot.
