Level 2 : 100/100, 100 ante

2017 $1,500 Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Lo WSOP bracelet winner Nathan Gamble was seen with a huge stack of yellow T1,000 chips in front of him and shared the context of his double.

A player limped in from middle position and Gamble saw action folded to him on the button afterward. He limped behind and both blinds checked, taking action four ways to the flop . Both blinds and the player in middle position checked to Gamble, who bet 300 and received two folds and a call from the middle-position player.

The turn came and Gamble's last remaining opponent checked to him. He fired another 1,100 forward and his opponent check-raised all in for 21,100. Gamble called.
