You Know You're Deep When...

Level 18 : 3,000/6,000, 500 ante

Serving as an indication of how deep the stacks are right now, Carl Garland and Tommy Ingram just played a careful looking 60,000-chip pot with pocket aces versus big slick.

Ingram shoved the aces on a queen-high flop and Garland gave up in a hand that might otherwise play all in preflop given a more shallow structure.

With the current average stack holding more than 40 big blinds right now, patience is ruling the day.

Chris Yeary bet 13,000 into a {9-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{7-Spades} flop only to see Tommy Ingram min-raise to 26,000. Carl Garland called, as did Yeary, and they went three-handed to a {10-Diamonds} turn.

Yeary tapped the table before Ingram simply shipped it in. Both players folded, handing Ingram the pot. He showed {J-Clubs}{10-Spades} for a straight.

To this point, Ingram has been the most active player nine-handed outside of Steven Gurney-Goldman, moving up the leaderboard fast.

Ronald McDonald made it 15,000 and Carl Garland defended his big blind.

The flop came {9-Spades}{8-Hearts}{3-Hearts} and McDonald continued for 30,000 after a Garland check. Garland called and checked the {6-Hearts} turn.

McDonald bet 40,000 and Garland called again, taking them to the {8-Spades} river. Both players checked and Garland turned over {J-Hearts}{8-Clubs} having rivered trips. McDonald had {9-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} for two pair and was ahead all the way until the end.

Steven Gurney-Goldman made it 13,000 under the gun and three players called. The flop fell {5-Spades}{5-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} and he continued for 21,000.

Only Carl Garland called bringing them heads up to the {4-Spades} turn. Gurney-Goldman checked, Garland bet out 100,000 and Gurney-Goldman called all-in for less with {8-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}.

Garland had ace-high with {A-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} and Gurney-Goldman doubled after the {7-Clubs} river made him a straight for good measure.
