Gordon Accelerates

Phil Gordon
Phil Gordon
Six players saw a flop. It came down {9-Diamonds} {8-Hearts} {6-Diamonds}. The first two players checked and then the third player fired out 1,600. Phil Gordon stayed in cruise control and just called and everyone else folded.

The turn came the {10-Diamonds}. It was checked to Gordon and he decided to just keep coasting and checked behind.

The river was the {6-Hearts} and it was checked to Gordon. Gordon stepped on the gas and bet out 2,500. The player called.

Gordon showed {Q-Diamonds} {2-Diamonds} and his opponent showed {7-Hearts} {7-Spades}. Gordon's flush was good enough to best his opponent's straight and take the pot. He is now up to 45,000.
