Gates Goes Beast Mode on Lichtenberger
Andrew Lichtenberger had just been moved to Garry Gates's table, and within a few minutes, he was out. Lichtenberger started the action by raising to 13,000 from the cutoff. Gates made the call out of the big blind, and the flop came down 
. Gates check called a bet of 15,000 from Lichtenberger, and the 
hit the turn. Gates checked again, and Lichtenberger fired out 24,000, leaving himself about 80,000 behind. Gates tanked for a bit before check raising all in, putting Lichtenberger to a decision for all his chips. He called it off, and saw that he was drawing very slim.
