Gordon Swings Back

Kirk Brown

Niveau 36 : Blinds 300,000/600,000, 300,000 ante

Simeon Spasov opened to 1,200,000 with 8♠8♦ and John Henry Gordon called Q♦J♣ to see a flop of 9♥K♠3♣.

Gordon checked, Sasov bet 800,000 with his eights, and Gordon called with his queen-high.

And just like that, Gordon drilled to the 10♥ on the turn for the nut straight and checked it over to Spasov, who checked back.

Unfortunately for Spasov, the river 8♥ gave him a set and he raised it up to 8,500,000 after a bet of 3,000,000 from Gordon.

Gordon then responded by moving all in for 18,000,000 and Spasov begrudgingly folded his set to award the large pot to Gordon.
