Gates Beasts a Double

Level 12 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Garry "Beast Mode" Gates opened with a raise to 2,600 and Jonathan Little flat-called. A third player reraised to 9,500 before action moved back to Gates. He went into full-on beast mode and move all in for approximately 34,000. Little folded and then the three bettor asked for a count. Once he received one, the player made the call with {A-}{K-}. Gates held two nines.

The flop produced a nine and gave Gates a set. He was well in the lead at that point and held up to double to over 70,000.
