Kings Win a Big Pot for Gimbel
Triple-crown winner Harrison Gimbel is still in play and just collected a sizeable pot to get himself in a good chip position. According to the players, he opened the betting with a raise to 80,000 from early position. Gustavo Kamei had less than a small blind with 15,000 chips in late position and called all in. Qi Xu in the cutoff also called, and other players folded.
The flop came K?9?10?. Gimbel bet 100,000 and Kamei moved all in, which was effective for Gimbel��s stack. Gimbel called.
Gustavo Kamei: A?3?
Harrison Gimbel: K?K?
Qi Xu: K?10?
Xu got very unlucky to flop two pair when Gimbel flopped top set. The turn J? and river 5? did not help Kamei or Xu and Gimbel doubled-up, while Kamei was eliminated. Xu was left with a short stack and has some work to do to get back in the run.
