Big Slick No Good For Gates

Sherif Badran opened with a min-raise from the button to 2,400 before Garry Gates popped it to 6,000 from the small blind. Aaron Benton called in the big blind and Badran came along.

The three players then put on the breaks as they checked down a {6-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{5-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} board. Gates flashed {A-Diamonds}{K-Spades} but Badran collected the pot with his {9-Diamonds}{8-Spades} for a rivered pair of nines.

Badran has made good progress today as he jumps to 90,000 in chips as Gates slips to 70,000.
