Gates Barreling Away
Level 3
: 75/150, 0 ante
One player limped form middle position and another from the hijack seat before Garry Gates raised to 650 from the button. Action folded back to the first limper, Kevin Lockhart, and he made the call. The other player folded.
The flop came down 
and Lockhart checked. Gates bet 700 and Lockhart made the call.
The turn brought the 
and Lockhart check-called Gates' bet of 2,000 very quickly before the 
fell on the river. Lockhart checked and Gates bet 5,000. Lockhart thought for a half a minute and then folded.
Gates won the pot without showdown and improved to 22,000 in chips, back over the starting amount.
