On a side note to Evan Panesis elimination to Gibbons, Gibbons can’t believe that his 9s full of 8s is the winner because of a Day 1 hand the two played.

Gibbons had been stewing over a missed chance to knockout Panesis yesterday when he bet the river with 9s full of 8s. After sitting in the tank for several minutes, Panesis drops a raise on to the felt and Gibbons exposed his cards thinking it was simply a call.

Gibbons called the bet, but missed a chance to reraise Panesis all in, who turned over the under full house 8s full of 9s.

“That’s why I called,” says Gibbons of today’s turn bet, “I was thinking about the 9s and 8s.  He (Panesis) should feel lucky that he made the money, he should’ve been out yesterday.

“That’s gold right there, you can’t make that up. That’s a good story.”
