Boat for Gibson; Surpasses a Million

Level 16 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

On a board of {k-Hearts}{8-Spades}{3-Spades}{7-Clubs} Ryan Gibson fired out 28,000 and Kevin Eyster called.

The {7-Clubs} was the turn and Gibson led out again, this time for 75,000. Eyster pondered for about 10 seconds and eventually threw in a chip to call. Gibson tabled {9-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} for a full house on the river and Eyster mucked his hand while paying off the 75,000 chips.

Shortly after, Gibson was seen taking out David Prociak to move his stack above a million.
