Gardner Scores a Triple-Up

Level 4 : 200/400, 50 ante

We arrived at the table when the board already had four cards on it, but Robert McKeithen was kind enough to fill us in on the earlier action in the hand once it was over.

Preflop, there was a raise to 1,100 and five people called. The flop was {Q-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{4-Hearts} and William Gardner bet 4,000 when it folded to him. McKeithen and another player called and the turn was the {3-Clubs}.

At this moment it checked to Gardner who put in 10,000 and McKeithen pushed all in. The third player in the hand pushed all in as well and the decision was back on Gardner. He called after a while and the cards went on their backs.

Gardner was holding {4-Diamonds}{4-Clubs} for a flopped set, but he wasn't in particularly good shape against the {6-Clubs}{5-Clubs} of McKeithen and the {6-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} of the other player involved in the hand.

The river card was the {7-Hearts} and that gave Gardner a full house. There was a small side pot and McKeithen got half of that, but the majority of the chips went to Gardner who's now sitting pretty on a 130,000 stack.
