Growing the Stack Slow and Gentile

Level 24 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Chester Mead opened in cutoff to 100,000 and got an all-in shove from Michael Gentile for 240,000 from the big blind. Mead called putting Gentile's tournament life on the line.

Michael Gentile: A♥Q♣ All in
Chester Mead : A♦10♣

Gentile had Mead dominated and without anyone hitting the board of 9♣K♠5♠2♠J♠, he boosted his stack to a little but more than ten bigs.
