A-Gumula-tion for Daniel

Daniel Gumula just doubled up after making a call for his tournament life vs. the then 7th in chips Jose Esteves. On a flop of Q♠ 3♥ 3&spades, 22k had already made its way into the pot from button Esteves and small blind Gumula. A 12k bet lay in front of Gumula, while Esteves simply announced, "all in," easily covering his opponent.

A long dwell ensued, as the graffiti-hoodied young player thought about it, eventually coming to the decision to call for his stack with J♣ J♠. A mixture of relief and suspense, probably, when he saw Esteves' A♠ 6♠. Fading the flush draw, however, he got the full double up and is now on over 70k, while Esteves drops to 32k.
