Gates Takes It Down Without a Showdown

On a flop of {K-Clubs}{J-Clubs}{6-Clubs}, Garry "Beast Mode" Gates led out for 24,000 and received a call from Michael Castaldo. When the dealer then burned and turned the {4-Diamonds}, Gates bet 52,000, Castaldo called, and the {K-Hearts} was put out on the river.

Gates thought for a brief moment before putting out a bet of 105,000. Castaldo conceded the hand by tossing his cards to the muck. Gates is off to a good start here on Day 5 having already chipped up to 920,000.
