Level 16
: 1,500/3,000, 500 ante
From under the gun, Garry Gates opened with a raise to 6,000. Action folded around the Kara Scott in the small blind, and she put in a reraise to 15,000. After the big blind folded, Gates sized up Scott's stack, then made the call to take a flop in position.
On the 
flop, Scott checked quickly. Gates reached for chips and tossed out a bet of 15,000. Scott made the call.
The turn was the 
, and both players checked to see the 
land on the river. Slowly, Scott began to count out a bet, positioning a couple of towers from her stack. Just as she was about to slide her bet forward, Gates tossed his cards into the muck and said, "Nice hand."
Scott collected the pot and moved to 180,000, while Gates was knocked back a little to 146,000.
