American Airlines for Gates

Level 20 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

The table of Garry Gates was broken at the 36 person mark, and just like he has done every time he's been moved so far in this tournament, he picked up a huge pot in one of the first hands at his new table.

We missed the exact preflop action, but we know that Gates called a shove from his opponent holding {a-Hearts}{a-Spades}. His opponent could only muster up {k-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}. The {8-Diamonds} popped up in the window, but the rest of the flop was fairly harmless, as it came {q-Hearts}{7-Spades}{8-Diamonds}. Gates could now only lose to runner runner, and the {7-Clubs} on the turn sealed it. The meaningless river was the {7-Hearts}, and Gates picked up the huge pot to get back up to almost 436,000.
