Gates Busts Another

Level 18 : 3,000/6,000, 500 ante

On the first hand back from dinner, Garry Gates added another bounty to his collection. He and his opponent got in a preflop raising war that saw all of his opponent's chips go into the middle.

Gates: {a-Spades}{k-Hearts}
Opponent: {q-Hearts}{q-Spades}

It was a classic race, but Gates shot out to the lead when the flop came {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}. Gates was now looking to just fade two queens or runner runner straight, and the turn was the {5-Spades}. The river gave Gates an unnecessary full house, coming the {a-Hearts}, and after winning that hand, Gates is now up to 339,000.
