The Gates are Flooded

Level 20 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

On a flop of {J-Spades}{8-Spades}{8-Clubs}, Marcy Jo Phillips managed to get Arthur Gates to put his entire stack in the middle with {q-Spades}{j-Diamonds} while she held {a-Spades}{8-Hearts}.

Phillips thought she was about to knock Gates out with trip eights, but the {j-Hearts} on the turn squashed that thought.

The river was the {10-Clubs} and Gates doubled through with 995,000 behind.
