Going, Going, Gonzalez
Level 20
: 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
Carlos Yerbes Gonzalez opened the pot to 21,000 from late position, and Anthony Picault three-bet to 55,000 from the small blind. Gonzalez shoved in for 191,000 total, and Picault called very quickly with his covering stack.
Showdown
Gonzalez:
Picault:
The flop was not particularly good for the at-risk Gonzalez, pairing both players to keep him in the hole. The turn was a good sweat, though, giving him a gutterball draw and another four outs to the double.
River:
That'll do it. Gonzalez slammed his fist down on the felt with a loud, "Yes!" then apologized to the man he'd just doubled through. This one brings him right back to 400,000 on the nose.
