Lucky/Unlucky for Gabitan and Villanueva


The flop read 5 6 2 and Anthony Gabitan put 1,200 which JR Villanueva called. The turn 4 arrived and Gabitan stepped on the breaks but saw Villanueva bet 3,400 more. Gabitan called.

The river 3 landed making a straight on the board and Villanueva shoved his stack and Gabitan called.

Gabitan: Q Q
Villanueva: A 3

The players settled for a split pot.

To summarize, Gabitan was ahead pre-flop and post-flop; and Villanueva was ahead on the turn; before splitting the pot on the river. Unfortunate/fortunate for both.
