Main Feature Hands #19-24: Another Showdown Win for Gates
Hand #19: Robert Heidorn raised to 1,100,000 from the cutoff and Henry Lu in the small blind made it 3,000,000 total. Heidorn gave it some consideration and folded.
Hand #20: First to act, Garry Gates made it 1,100,000 to go and Lu three-bet the second time, for 2,800,000 in total. Gates called and they headed to a 
flop, on which Gates checked and faced a bet of 2,000,000. Gates came along and the 
turn paired the board.
Gates and Lu checked through to the 
river and no betting action followed, Gates tabled 
and that won the pot.
Hand #21: From under the gun, [Removed:140] raised to 1,000,000 and Hossein Ensan called in the hijack. Gates in the big blind made it three ways to the 
flop and they checked to the 
turn, on which Ensan took the betting lead with 1,500,000. Gates check-folded and Rau called to see the 
river.
Rau checked once more and Ensan bet 4,650,000, sending Rau deep into the think tank. A fold by Rau followed and the pot was pushed to Ensan.
Hand #22: Lu raised to 1,100,000 and found no resistance.
Hand #23: Michael Niwinski opened to 1,000,000 in the hijack and picked up the blinds and antes.
Hand #24: Timothy Su raised to 1,100,000 and Ensan defended the big blind to a 
flop. Ensan checked and a bet of Su for 750,000 ended the hand right there.
