Gimbel Continues to Climb
Harrison Gimbel is up among the chip leaders thanks to a blistering start here in Event #54. Gimbel is up to 190,000 chips thanks in part to a pot he just took down over on table 444.
Daniel Landriault raised to 4,000 in late position and Gimbel three-bet to 8,200 from the cutoff. The button and blinds folded but Landriault decided to stick around. In fact he did more than that, he moved all in for an additional 30,000 and Gimbel called.
Landriault: 
Gimbel: 
Gimbel's pocket nines stayed best on the 
flop and then became unbeatable when the 
landed on the turn. The meaningless 
completed the board and confirmed Landriault's demise.
Gimbel won the 2010 PCA Main Event and came close to a bracelet in 2012 when he finished fourth in the $1,500 Ante-Only tournament. He has given himself a great chance of beating that impressive WSOP finish here in 2013.
