Gathy Getting There

Michael Gathy was the first to act and made it 80,000. The button folded and Jamie Armstrong three-bet to 205,000 from the small blind. The big blind then folded and action was back on Gathy who made the call.

After a {j-Hearts}{9-Spades}{8-Spades} flop was exposed Armstrong continued for 225,000. Gathy eventually made the call and both players were treated to the {5-Clubs} on turn. Armstrong started the action out by checking, while Gathy took his time counting out his own stack before eventually knuckling for a check as well.

A {2-Hearts} on the river brought a repeat of action with both players checking. Armstrong flipped over {A-Clubs}{k-Clubs} for ace high, while Gathy countered with {A-}{9-} for a pair of nines and the winning hand.
