The G Makes Big Arrival

One more late registration is none other than PokerNews' own Tony G who recently sat down at table 8, and he has certainly wasted no time in getting into the middle of the action.

On a flop of {3-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{7-Hearts}, in an already healthy pot, it was checked to Guoga who tossed out three yellows for a bet of 3,000. His opponent made a quick call and the turn brought the {J-Diamonds} and again it was checked to the G who doubled the bet to 6,000.

His opponent gave a wry smile and rocked back in his chair, "Really? It's the first hand I've had all day..." he sighed.

"What do you have?" laughed Guoga, before his opponent decided to commit his last chips. It was a few thousand more to Guoga who quickly called.

Guoga: {A-Hearts}{A-Spades}
Opponent: {K-Spades}{K-Hearts}

The river bricked the {9-Spades} and just like that, the G eliminates a player and doubles his stack!
