Gibbons Gets a Present For Bubble Patience
Level 16
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Joel Isla raised to 16,000 in the cutoff before Paul Gibbons moved all in for 95,000 on the button. The button reshoved and Isla folded ace-jack.
Paul Gibbons: A♥K♦ 
Opponent: Q♠Q♣
"It's a flipper," Gibbons' opponent said once the cards were revealed. The flop came A♣J♥4♠ and Gibbons took the lead with a pair of aces. The A♠ turn improved him to trips, and he held up through the 2♣ river to earn a double up.
"I folded kings on the bubble. That's my present," Gibbons said as he took the pot.
