Gates Goes To The Rail

When we got to Garry "Beast Mode" Gates' table, he was heads up with Samuel Greenwood on a flop of {2-Clubs}{k-Hearts}{k-Spades}. With about 10,000 in the pot already, Gates put out a bet of 6,200. Greenwood took a few moments before cutting out the chips and making a call. The turn brought the {5-Diamonds}, and Gates checked to Greenwood, who bet an unknown amount. Gates quickly shoved all in, and Greenwood snap called. The cards were flipped, and it was bad news for Gates.

Gates: {q-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}
Greenwood: {k-Diamonds}{7-Spades}

Greenwood had flopped trip kings, and Gates was drawing dead. The meaningless river was the {6-Hearts}, and Gates grabbed his stuff and headed to the payout desk just minutes before the dinner break.
