Hands #29-31: Gates Takes From Ensan
Hand #29: Alex Livingston limped in from the small blind and Hossein Ensan checked his option from the big blind. On the 
flop, Livingston check-called a bet of 1,200,000 and the 
followed on the turn. Both players checked the 
river and Livingston won the pot with the 
.
Hand #30: Garry Gates opened to 3,500,000 from the cutoff and picked up a call by Ensan in the small blind, Nick Marchington in the big blind reluctantly folded. On the 
flop, Ensan checked and Gates continued for 3,300,000. Ensan called and the 
turn was checked by him once more, this time Gates checked back.
After the 
river, both checked once more and Ensan tabled the 
for a pair of deuces. Gates had that beat with 
and his rail started chants as Gates reduced the gap to Ensan at the top of the counts to 22 big blinds.
Hand #31: Garry Gates raised to 2,800,000 from the hijack and won the pot uncontested.
