Gates Chipping Up

Level 5 : 100/200, 25 ante
Garry Gates
Garry Gates

A player under the gun raised to 525 and found calls from Garry Gates in middle position and the big blind. The flop was {10-Spades}{4-Spades}{2-Spades} and the preflop aggressor led out for 1,250. Gates re-raised to 2,600 and the player in the blinds got out of the way. The final opponent went deep into the tank and was clearly pained by the position he was in. After a minute or two he slowly slid his cards to the dealer and Gates was awarded the pot. He now has 19,900 chips.
