Gazing Down on the Rest of the Field

Billy Gazes again put a player all in, this time holding {K-Spades} {K-Clubs}. His opponent had about 22,000 chips left, and they all went into the middle preflop with {A-Spades} {6-Clubs}.

The board ran out {8-Clubs} {8-Spades} {3-Diamonds} {6-Hearts} {Q-Spades}, holding up Gazes' big pair and sending yet another player to the rail.

With that knockout, Gazes has become the first player over 200,000 in chips, sitting now with 212,000 total. He is controlling the featured table, having increased his stack more than six-fold since he sat down just before dinner break.
