Gates Taking Tolls

We won't tell you about the bad beat that Garry Gates just put on an opponent to double. All right, maybe just a little of it. Gates got himself pot-committed with pocket sevens on a {10-} {10-} {9-} flop, and his opponent put him in a bad spot with a third ten in his hand. Gates managed to find runner-runner hearts to come from behind and double, though, and he's chipped up a bit more since then to find himself sitting pretty with close to 65,000 now.
