Gary Stokes Doubles Up; Wins Oscar for Best Actor

Level 3 : 100/200, 25 ante

Uday Bansal raised to 500 and the player in the next position called. Gary Stokes three-bet to 3,200 from the big blind and both other players called.

The flop came {9-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{q-Spades} and Stokes bet 9,300. Bansal called and the third player in the hand folded.

The turn was the {10-Clubs} and Stokes moved all in for 21,000. Bansal went into the tank. Stokes beckoned his friend over, explaining how he had lost with Kings in the previous hand. Stokes got to his feet, rearranging his jacket and looking impatient.

Eventually, Bansal threw a chip in into the middle, and Stokes tabled {k-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}. Bansal showed {a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}. The river was the {4-Spades} and Stokes doubled up to over 70,000.

Zac Sloper was sat to Stokes's right and slid his phone onto the rail beside him. "That's for you," said Sloper, showing him a picture of an Oscar statue, "You even did that big sigh pre-flop!"
