Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

From early position, a player puts in a raise to 300. The person next to act reraises it to 800. Action is folded around to the small blind, where Billy Gazes comes back over the top of both men, making it 2,200 to go. His two opponents make the call.

The flop comes down {9-Clubs}

{9-Clubs}

{6-Clubs}

{6-Spades}

, and Gazes makes a covering bet of 3,000. The initial raiser calls all in, while the second opponent folds, showing {Q-Spades}

{Q-Spades}

{Q-Diamonds}

.

It was a darn good laydown. Gazes tables {K-Hearts}

{K-Hearts}

{K-Diamonds}

, while his opponent has the preflop nuts, {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{A-Clubs}

!

The turn and river come {7-Diamonds}

{7-Diamonds}

{7-Clubs}

, and Gazes ships a big chunk of his stack across the table. He now has about 2,400 remaining.
