Gabriel Fuller

Gabriel Fuller caught a break, then caught a double.

First up, he moved all in for 275,000 with As4c and ran into Fred Paradis with a big ace holding AdTd. The dealer ran out the Kc9h5dJc9c for a chopped pot to save Fuller’s final table run.

One hand later, he open-shipped for 340,000 and this time it was Walter Thronton calling to put him at risk.

Fuller: KdKs
Thornton: AsJd

Fuller found a monster after getting his save and the 9c7s3cTs4s board put him back in the game.
