Gheba Bests Gates
Level 22
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Daniyal Gheba opened to 75,000 from the cutoff before Brian Gates opted to re-raise to 210,000 from the big blind.
Gheba called, and the dealer fanned out a flop of K♥5♦Q♥. Gates continued for 140,000 and was called by Gheba.
The 4♥ turn slowed down Gates with a check. Gheba chose to respond with a bet of 155,000, and Gates called.
Both players checked the 5♠ river to go to a showdown.
Gates showed A♦Q♦ for a pair of queens, but it was no good as Gheba revealed K♣J♣ for a pair of kings to claim the pot.
