Gates Getting It Back

Garry Gates
Garry Gates

Garry Gates, who faltered a bit after being moved from the featured table, just won a big hand that put him back up to around 60,000.

A player in the hijack opened for 800 and Gates called on the button. The flop came down {10-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{8-Spades} and the hijack led out for 1,225. Gates raised it up to 2,500 and the hijack just called.

The turn came the {a-Hearts} and the hijack led out for 3,250. Gates just called and the two saw the river {5-Hearts}

The hijack led out for 6,250 this time and Gates went into the tank. Eventually he made the call and the hijack player, resigned to his fate just said, "You're good" and mucked his hand. Gates showed {10-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} for just a pair of tens and he now has right around 60,000 after scooping that pot.
