Event 4: Gibbons Gets There

$150 No Limit Hold’em (Re-Entry)

Level 7:  Blinds 300/600/75 ante

 Joe Gibbons
Joe Gibbons – from the 2014 Summer Poker Open

Joe Gibbons and the player on his right in seat 4 got to the turn with a board of 8c8s7s3h and seat 4 bet 3k.  Joe tossed in his last ~4,500 chips and got the call.

Joe showed As9s for the flush draw.  His opponent was ahead with 9h9d.

Then the obliging dealer burned and rivered the Ks, giving Joe the flush and the double-up instead of a trip back to the cage to re-enter.  Joe’s double-up brought his stack up to about 11k, below the 12k starting stack.

Joe won the $1,650 Purple Chip Bounty NLH event during the 2014 Summer Poker Open here in Tampa, cashing for $14,625.
