Carter Gill Doubles Up

Carter Gill has been fairly active throughout the event. On this hand, Gill raises to 500 from early position. Alan "BodogAri" Engel calls on the button, as does both of the blinds.

The flop comes down {4-Spades}{7-Hearts}{6-Hearts} and both the blinds check to Gill. Gill bets out 1,050 and Engel calls. The small blind re-raises 2,500 more to 3,550. The big blind thinks for a while before folding his hand.

With the action back on the original pre-flop raiser, Gill moves all in. Engel folds and the small blind calls the additional 3,250 chips.

Gill says, "I flopped the nuts," as he turns over the {8-Spades}{5-Spades} for an eight-high straight. The small blind declares that he has a double gut-shot straight draw and shows the {10-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}.

Gill sweats out the turn and river as it comes the {2-Diamonds}, then the {A-Diamonds}. Gill has doubled through and now sits at 16,500.
