Toth's Loss is Gaines' Gain

[user66118]

We joined the action about as late as it's possible to and still get details, so here's what little we know. When we approached the table, there was a big pot brewing between Richard Toth and Lee "Bill Ivey" Gaines. There was close to 200,000 in the pot already, and Gaines had either bet or raised 107,000 on the river of a board showing {4-Clubs}

.

Toth was deep in the think tank when we walked up, and he would stay there for another couple of minutes, sitting as still as a statue. Finally, he slid the calling chips forward.

Gaines showed up {7-Spades}

, and we'd never get a chance to look at Toth's not-good-enough holdings. He slid them into the muck, sliding himself down around 400,000 in the process.

We'll have to wait for Gaines to stack up before we're confident of his count, but it looks like he'll be up in the neighborhood of 700,000.
