Gheba Doubles Through Hart
Daniyal Gheba raised 400,000 with K?9?. Action folded to Brent Hart in the big blind, and he defended with Q?9?.
Then, the situation became rather spicy.
The dealer fanned K?6?9? on the flop, giving Hart middle pair and four to the flush. Gheba had flopped top two pair.
Hart checked, Gheba bet 550,000, and Hart called.
The turn produced Q?, giving Hart two pair, which was inferior to Gheba��s hand. Hart once again checked, and Gheba fired out a 700,000 bet. Hart almost beat Gheba into the pot by announcing an all-in bet, which covered Gheba��s stack.
Gheba went in the tank, contemplating his next move. After moments elapsed, Gheba put his tournament life on the life with a call.
Hart needed any queen or a club to show up, but the 2? on the river sent the massive 8,850,000 pot to Gheba and placed a large dent in Hart��s chip stack.
