Gonzalez Doubles Up White in Largest Pot of the Day
Level 22
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
After a small stack moved all in preflop, big stack Rafael Gonzalez moved all-in behind him for around 1,500,000. Patrick White then announced he was all in for 1,300,000, and the race was on for a huge pot.
Opponent: 6♦6♠
Patrick White: A♠Q♠
Rafael Gonzalez: K♥K♦
Gonzalez was in a prime position to become the massive chip leader with a double knockout, but as fate would have it, an ace appeared on the flop of 7♦A♥9♦ to give White the lead.
"Unbelievable!" Gonzalez shouted and pounded the table in disgust as the board completed with 9♣2♣ to secure White's victory in the largest pot of the day.
This rocketed his stack to over 3,000,000 while Gonzalez was left with less than 200,000, and the other player was eliminated.
