A Big Misstep From Gilmore

Jason DeWitt
Jason DeWitt

From the button, Jason DeWitt opened to 75,000, and he found calling action from small blind Peter Gilmore.

Off the two men went to what would turn out to be an action-y flop of {A-Spades} {5-Spades} {2-Spades}. Gilmore knocked the table, and DeWitt fired out 110,000 chips. That's not going to get it done here; DeWitt snuck in a check-raise to 260,000 total. After a minute or two of consideration, Gilmore announced an all-in three-bet, and DeWitt shrugged and made the call to put his own tournament life in jeopardy. The news was good, though:

DeWitt: {A-Clubs} {A-Diamonds}
Gilmore: {A-Hearts} {Q-Clubs} (oops)

Gilmore was drawing dead to a runner-runner chop, and the turn {6-Hearts} ended the hand right there. A mocking {Q-Hearts} hit the river, too little too late for Gilmore, and he loses a big chunk of his stack to the dangerous DeWitt.

We'll get some updated chip counts as soon as they clean up the stacks over there.
