Gates Goes Beast Mode on Lichtenberger

Level 18 : 3,000/6,000, 500 ante
Andrew Lichtenberger
Andrew 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 {5-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{3-Spades}. Gates check called a bet of 15,000 from Lichtenberger, and the {2-Spades} 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.

Lichtenberger: {a-}{8-}
Gates: {3-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}

It was the perfect flop for Gates, who flopped bottom set to Lichtenberger's top pair. Gates would only lose the hand if a four came on the river, but that didn't happen, as the {k-Spades} came. After that hand, Gates is up to 427,500, and is in the top five chip counts with just 50 players left.
