Gabel Turns Trash Into Treasure

[user42991]

Preflop, a late position player raised to 1,300 and Vincent Gabel called. Matt Matros then reraised to 5,500 from the small bllind. Only Gabel called the reraise.

On a flop of {10-Clubs}

{10-Clubs}

{5-Spades}

{6-Hearts}

, Matros bet 7,000 and Gabel called. On the turn of the {9-Spades}

{9-Spades}

, Matros checked and Gabel moved all in for 4,000. Matros reluctantly called.

Gabe showed {8-Clubs}

{8-Clubs}

{7-Clubs}

for the nut straight, while Matros showed {9-Clubs}

{9-Clubs}

{3-Diamonds}

for only a pair of nines. The river of the {3-Clubs}

{3-Clubs}

was irrelevant and Gabel moved up to 34,000 after the hand.
