Gilmore Gets It In Good

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Francis Onwuka open-raised to 3,700 from the hijack, and received calls from John Ward, Justin Linnane, and Helen Goberville. By then, the action had reached Alan Gilmore in the big blind, who jammed his stack of 35,200 in the middle.

Onwuka asked for a count and made the call shortly thereafter with a covering stack, while the other three players got out of the way.

Alan Gilmore: Q?Q?
Francis Onwuka: J?J?

Gilmore was a huge favorite to double up, and he did just so when the board ran out 5?2?9?5?8?.
