Big Slick Helps Gates to Double Up
Level 25
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
The player in the cutoff had shoved for 520,000 and Stanley Gates made the call from the big blind with a slightly covering stack.
Cutoff: A♥6♦ 
Stanley Gates: A♦K♦
Both players improved to top pair on the 10♦A♣7♣ flop but it was the kicker of Gates that played as neither the 4♣ river nor 3♦ turn helped the cutoff improve.
