Two Pair For Gelb
Oct 10, '15
Brian Gorman opened the action with a raise to 350 from the cutoff. Peter Chu called from the button and Jon Gelb came along from the big blind. The trio took a flop of 6QK and Gelb knocked the table. Gorman opted not to continue, prompting Chu to bet 600 from the button. Gelb called and Gorman got out of the way.
The turn was the 4 and Gelb checked for a second time. Chu continued his aggression with a bet of 1,000 only to have Gelb announced a check-raise to 3,000. Chu called to see a river.
The T finished off the board and Gelb announced a final bet of 1,200. Chu sighed and flung out calling chips.
“Two pair,” said Gelb, rolling over K6 for kings up and the win.
Jon Gelb – 34,000
Peter Chu – 21,800
