Gilmore Growing

Peter Gilmore raised to 75,000 under the gun, and Amit Makhija wanted to play for more. In middle position, he three-bet to 200,000 straight, only to see Gilmore shove all in over the top. It was a covering reraise, and Makhija decided that he could not go any further. He released his cards, adding, "I folded ace-queen. Can you show me a better hand?"

Gilmore promptly mucked, putting a big dent in Makhija's stack with that shove.

Makhija - 655,000
Gilmore - lots, still stacking
