Dan Gerard the Ladies Man

Level 24 : 12,000/24,000, 3,000 ante

Dan Gerard and an opponent with around 236,000 left to his name both woke up with premium hands, and the all the money went in before the flop.

Gerard tabled {q-Hearts}{q-Diamonds} and the other player {A-Spades}{k-Diamonds} for the classic coin flip confrontation.

Flop: {7-Spades}{7-Clubs}{q-Clubs}

Just like that, the coin came up on the side Gerard called, and the hand was virtually over in an instant. The turn ({4-Diamonds}) and river ({j-Hearts}) were merely formalities at that point, and by notching the knockout Gerard pushed to just below one million chip mark.
