This hand was interesting because I held pocket tens filling up a boat on the river. I put Gilbert on a big spade so I thought this would be the end of the match, but I guess I was wrong.

From here Gilbert came back to almost tie the match up by grinding away at the small pots and then falling back. This whole match was grinding away at small pots with only 2 large pots played and one was a split pot. The second and final big pot came with me having a 2k to 1k chip lead.
