Two Thumbs Up From Gibson (E#11-D2)

There was a massive collision on table seven between the cutoff and blinds.

On blinds of 6,000/12,000/12,000, Ivonir Bento opened to 30,000 from the cutoff. John Gibson three-bet to 80,000 from the small blind and Peng Li went all in from the big blind with a covering stack. Bento went into the tank but folded after a few minutes. Gibson flicked in a call. 

Gibson: A♥A♦
Li: Q♥Q♦
Board: A♣9♣7♦3♣6♠

The ace high flop all but secured the double up for Gibson. Clubs started to come on the turn but the red queens of Li were dead. Gibson was visibly happy with the result and the dream is still alive. Gibson and the rest of the field are all hunting the $231,430 for 1st place!

Gibson: 540,000
Li: 286,000
