Gates Gets Rid Of a Short Stack

Garry Gates
Garry Gates

When we got to Garry Gates's table, we saw him up against a short stack with all of his chips in the middle. The short stack held {k-Clubs}{10-Clubs}, and Gates was in the lead with {a-Diamonds}{j-Spades}. The flop came out {9-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}, giving the short stack an open ended straight draw. The turn helped neither, coming the {2-Clubs}, and the river did the same, as it brought the {5-Diamonds}. Gates collected the bounty, upping his stack to just under 60,000.
