The Flush Draw of Gibralter

Level 18 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

Jeff Gibralter opened to 8,200 from early position before Pavan Bhatia moved all in for 30,200 from the cutoff. Brant Holloway cold-called about a quarter of his stack from the big blind and Gibralter tank-called as well.

The flop fell {4-Spades}{9-Spades}{5-Diamonds} and Holloway immediately slid out half of his stack. Gibralter moved all in and Holloway made the call.

Bhatia: {8-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}
Holloway: {10-Spades}{10-Diamonds}
Gibralter: {a-Spades}{q-Spades}

"My hand was just too big to fold," Gibralter commented upon tabling his cards.

There was almost 100,000 in the main pot and nearly 200,000 in the side pot up for grabs. The dealer knuckled the table and delivered the {q-Clubs} on the turn, giving Gibralter a stranglehold on the hand. Bhatia needed the {8-Clubs} and Holloway was drawing to the two tens left in the deck.

The {9-Hearts} was a blank however and both Holloway and Bhatia hit the rail. A wave of chips was pushed towards Gibralter, and he now has 360,000 in his stack.
