Pocket Aces Right Out The Gate for Gates

Level 7 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Soon after the dinner break, Brian Gates opened under the gun to find one caller out of the big blind.

The board came 595 and the action checked through.

A turn of the 7 brought some action as the big blind now chose to lead for 2,200. Gates called.

The K slowed down the out-of-position player as he opted to check to Gates who fired 6,200, around two-thirds of the pot. After some time in the tank, the big blind eventually called and Gates tabled AA, besting his opponent's holdings to win the pot.
