Gates Dodges Out to Stay Alive

Level 5 : 100/200, 0 ante

Garry Gates was all in and at risk. His opponent flipped over {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}. Gates had his {8-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} flipped up but was still holding onto the cards.

Gates commented on how the board was going to run which was bringing kings or aces. The flop did not bring an ace or king but instead a monster chance for Gates's opponent. The flop came {j-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{9-Clubs}. Gates was still holding onto his cards but praying a club was not to come. The turn paired the jack with the {j-Hearts}. The river came the {4-Diamonds} and somehow Gates dodged the barrage of outs.

Gates was happy to still be in the tournament and he doubled to 4,000.
