Gazing Upward

Billy Gazes

On a flop of {A-Diamonds} {3-Diamonds} {9-Hearts}, Billy Gazes had the betting lead. He checked, and his opponent put out a bet. The amount was unclear, but when Gazes called, it put more than 6,000 chips in the pot.

Heads up, fourth street was the {7-Clubs}. Gazes again checked, and his opponent put out a bet of 4,100. Billy called once more.

The river brought the {Q-Diamonds}. Gazes sat pensively for a minute or two, alternating glances at the board and his opponent. Finally, he counted out 6,400 chips and tossed them forward. His opponent went into the tank for a couple minutes before finally surrendering his cards.

With that little chip-up pot, Gazes has climbed to 27,000 just before break.
