Wheel the Only Way to Stop Gathy

Level 8 : 250/500, 750 ante

Michael Gathy has been crushing the 2-7 single draw so far. He just lost nearly 15,000 in chips but his stack still looks more than healthy, with Gathy navigating almost 100,000.

His loss, however, came when he three-bet in position and then called off for 14,275 against a player in the hijack. Gathy took one while his opponent drew two, and Gathy opened {8-}{6-}{3-}{2-}. The other player turned up his complete hand, and he found out that he'd drawn the best he could as he opened {7-}{5-}{4-}{3-}{2-}. Gathy showed a {3-} for formalities, knowing there was no card saving him from the loss.

Roland Israelashvili and Jeff Lisandro, both sitting to Gathy's left, laughed about the hand: "Number One is the only way how to beat this guy," Lisandro said and Israelashvili agreed.
