Gilmore’s Nut Flush Provides Double Up
Livello 20
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
The bustouts continue as the short-stacked players enter Level 20, which carries an unforgiving 10,000/20,000 blind structure with a 20,000 ante.
But for some like Michael Gilmore, scoring a double-up means hope remains alive. Gilmore got his chance when he looked down at his cards and moved all in to put his tournament life at stake against an opponent to his right, leading to the cards being tabled.
Michael Gilmore: A♠Q♠
Opponent: J♣J♦
Gilmore was behind when the dealer fanned 8♠3♦10♠ on the flop, but the texture gave him the nut flush draw to go along with pairing any of his two over cards. The 4♥ on the turn didn’t help his cause, but the 7♠ on the river kept him alive for the double.
