Gordon is Golden

Level 4 : 150/300, 0 ante
Phil Gordon: kickin' goals and crushin' souls!
Phil Gordon: kickin' goals and crushin' souls!

Thanks to a handy double-KO on table 24, Phil Gordon has now almost tripled his starting stack as we approach the next break.

The player under the gun raised before another player in middle position called all-in for 250. Gordon called, as did the small blind before the dealer produced the flop of {7-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{6-Spades}.

The small blind checked to the UTG who led out, but Gordon quickly raised. The small blind folded, the UTG player reraised and Gordon four-bet, forcing the UTG all-in.

UTG: {Q-Spades}{Q-Hearts}
Gordon: {7-Spades}{7-Hearts}
Middle position: {Q-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}

Gordon's set held up after the turn and river ran out {J-}, {4-} and two more were added to the casualty list as Gordon chips up to 12,500.
