Isle Open Event #11 (Day 2): Gimbel's Unlikely Climb Continues, As He Knocks Out Harry O'Brien

2018 Isle Open | Event #11
$1,500 No Limit Hold'em Main Event ($300,000 GTD)
Level 12 (Blinds 1,000/2,000/2,000)
Event #11 Entries: 247
Event #11 Players Remaining: 106

The stack of Harrison Gimbel (Jupiter, FL), after starting Day 2 with just 5,600 (less than six big blinds).

Table 11 was playing it's last hand before breaking, with Harry O'Brien open shoving for just over 40,000.  Harrison Gimbel was next to act, and after assessing the stack sizes around him, announced a call.  The player behind all folded, and the cards found their backs:

O'Brien: J J♣
Gimbel: K K♠

Runout: Q 10♠ 6 J♠ A♣

The dramatic runout just about summed up Gimbel's day so far (watching O'Brien steal the lead with a turned set, only to make a straight on the river), and left the others at the table happy to find a new seat...away from Harrison.

Harrison Gimbel - 170,000 (85bb)
Harry O'Brien - Eliminated (but eligible to re-enter)
