Gates Wins a Massive Hand, Shoots to the Top of the Counts

When we reached Table 67, the flop had already fallen {q-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}. There were over 70,000 chips in the middle already, and Garry Gates was heads up with Joe "Black" Reddick. Gates had a small stack of grey T5,000 chips in front of him, and Reddick moved all in for effectively 90,000. Gates called.

Showdown

Gates{a-Spades}{k-Diamonds}56.36%
Reddick{a-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}42.42%

A total of 250,000 chips were in the middle when the dealer burned and turned the {q-Hearts}. Reddick's outs to a three were now eliminated - only a diamond would secure the knockout.

The river was the {5-Spades}, and Gates gave a hearty fist pump. The dealer counted down his stack to verify the amount, then sent a wave of chips his way.
