Gabriel Spikes Turn to Triple, Kurshumi Exits
Level 16
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
On a three-way flop of J♥9♥2♣, all of the chips went into the middle between Thomas Gabriel, Jonathan Bowers, and Ardit Kurshumi, with Bowers covering.
Ardit Kurshumi: A♠Q♥10♠5♥
Thomas Gabriel: K♥K♣10♥7♣
Jonathan Bowers: A♣J♣10♦9♠
Bowers was in the lead with his top two pair, but the turn Q♣ was gin for Gabriel as he made the nut straight to go with his heart draw. He still needed to fade a club, jack, or king, but the river was the brick 6♠ and he scooped the pot for the triple, eliminating Kurshumi.
