Tyler Gaston Wins a Big Pot

Three players contribute 50,000 to a pot preflop and the first three cards are dealt [5d4s2s]. Cong Pham then checks from late position, Tyler Gaston bets 70,000 on the hi-jack, and Richard Tatalovich calls on the cutoff. The turn falls [7c] and Gaston bets 200,000 after Cong checks to him. Tatalovich tanks and calls, and Cong takes his time before calling as well.

The river delivers the [7h] and Cong checks. Gaston bets 500,000 and Tatalovich tanks for a while before folding. Cong then tanks for multiple minutes before the clock is called and he finally folds [Ks5s] face up as the final seconds are counted off his last minute to act.

Gaston flips over pocket deueces for a full house (deuces full of sevens) as he takes the pot.

Tyler Gaston  –  2,470,000  (102 bb)
