Gathy Eliminates Himatsingka In Dramatic Fashion

Level 17 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

We came to the action with the board reading {5-Diamonds}{k-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}. There was 17,000 bet in front of Michael Gathy and Devvrat Himatsingka had the the all in button in front of him. Gathy was faced with a difficult decision with one card to come.

He made the call and tabled {q-Clubs}{8-Spades} for a pair of eights. Himatsingka was in the lead with {k-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} for a pair of kings and flush draw. The {q-Spades} river gave Gathy two pair and eliminated Himatsingka, who had a large stack for most of the day.
