Gibbons Limps, Calls, Loses

[user66118]

Level 21 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

First in from the hijack seat, Joseph Gibbons limped his way in for the minimum. The table folded around to the big blind, and Philippe Plouffe shoved all in for 265,000 total. When it came back to Gibbons, he made the call with his covering stack, and Plouffe was at-risk and in bad shape as the cards were turned up.

Showdown
Gibbons: {9-Clubs} {9-Diamonds}
Plouffe: {K-Clubs} {8-Clubs}

The {Q-Hearts} {6-Clubs} {2-Hearts} flop was a swing and a miss for Plouffe, as was the {4-Diamonds} turn. The river {K-Diamonds} , however, hit him squarely in the overcard. Plouffe's come-from-behind top pair earns him the double up, marching back to 554,000 while Gibbons drops to 305,000.
