Gravy for Jonathan Gray

Level 27 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante

After raising to 120,000 from middle position, Jonathan Gray watched as Upeshka Desilva came along to see the flop, which fell {5-Spades}{Q-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}. Two checks later, and the turn card came {K-Spades}. Again both players opted to knuckle the felt, and the river was the {5-Hearts}.

This time, Desilva slid a stack of 225,000 forward, and Gray thought for a moment before raising the price of poker to 600,000. Desilva dove into the tank and stayed there for a while, but ultimately the price was right for a call. Gray's {a-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} proved to be enough, as he hit trips on the river and took down the pot.
