Gabriel Spikes Turn to Triple, Kurshumi Exits
Level 16
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
On a three-way flop of J?9?2?, all of the chips went into the middle between Thomas Gabriel, Jonathan Bowers, and Ardit Kurshumi, with Bowers covering.
Ardit Kurshumi: A?Q?10?5?
Thomas Gabriel: K?K?10?7?
Jonathan Bowers: A?J?10?9?
Bowers was in the lead with his top two pair, but the turn Q? was gin for Gabriel as he made the nut straight to go with his heart draw. He still needed to fade a club, jack, or king, but the river was the brick 6? and he scooped the pot for the triple, eliminating Kurshumi.
