Ward Shoves the Flop

Level 18 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Michael Gathy opened to 20,000 in early position, and Andrew Hoechstetter made the call in the small blind. Joseph Ward came along in the big blind, and the J36 flop was fanned out.

Hoechstetter and Ward checked to Gathy, who continued for 20,000. Hoechstetter folded before Ward announced all in. That produced a fast fold from Gathy, and Ward raked in the pot.
