Gower Scores a Knockout Before Dinner
Level 7
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
In three way action to the 10?8?5? flop, a shorter stack opted to jam for around 28,000 and Jacques Marais asked for a count to then call. Chris Gower, who had just received his dinner order, quickly called while Marais still flashed his cards to Theuns Prinsloo.
The short stack tabled the A?10? for top pair and top kicker, but was in rough shape against the 8?8? of Gower. Some hope came with the A? turn but the 7? river secured the pot for Gower.
