Kings Win a Big Pot for Gimbel
Triple-crown winner Harrison Gimbel is still in play and just collected a sizeable pot to get himself in a good chip position. According to the players, he opened the betting with a raise to 80,000 from early position. Gustavo Kamei had less than a small blind with 15,000 chips in late position and called all in. Qi Xu in the cutoff also called, and other players folded.
The flop came K♠9♣10♦. Gimbel bet 100,000 and Kamei moved all in, which was effective for Gimbel’s stack. Gimbel called.
Gustavo Kamei: A♠3♥
Harrison Gimbel: K♥K♦
Qi Xu: K♣10♣
Xu got very unlucky to flop two pair when Gimbel flopped top set. The turn J♠ and river 5♠ did not help Kamei or Xu and Gimbel doubled-up, while Kamei was eliminated. Xu was left with a short stack and has some work to do to get back in the run.
