Geller Bests Gates With Aces

Garry Gates opened to 1,100 from middle position and was three-bet to 3,350 from Maya Geller in the hi-jack. Action folded back around to Gates, who flatted.

The flop came {J-Hearts}{J-Spades}{K-Hearts} and Gates checked to Geller, who bet 6,500. Gates fell into the tank and counted his remaining chips a couple times before finally giving his hand up.

Geller graciously showed him {A-}{A-} and mucked.

Gates is down to his last 30,500 while Geller is currently sitting with 60,000.
