Gibralter Rocks Sands, Takes Chip Lead
We've had our first big hand of the final table. It began with a raise to 40,000 by Robert Campbell from middle position. Jeffrey Gibralter, sitting one seat over, called the raise, and it folded to chip leader David "Doc" Sands in the small blind. Sands looked over at his two opponents, then announced he was reraising pot to 184,000. Marco Oliveira quickly folded from the big blind, and Campbell got out as well. But after thinking for about a minute, Gibralter made the call.
