Gates Takes Some From Fricke

Jimmy Fricke just lost a decent sized pot against fan favorite Garry Gates. Gates told us he called a raise from the cut off with {7-Hearts}{7-} from Fricke who also saw the big blind call. De flop came down {8-}{2-}{6-} with two hearts and Fricke bet 525, both players called.

The turn was the {10-Hearts} and all three players checked. On the river the {9-Hearts} hit the felt and Fricke fired 1,400. Gates made the call and the big blind folded. Fricke showed {A-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds} for ace high and Gates took down the pot with his small flush.
