Gibralter Rocks Sands, Takes Chip Lead

Jeffrey Gibralter, sitting one seat over, called the raise, and it folded to chip leader David "Doc" Sands in the small blind. Sands looked over at his two opponents, then announced he was reraising pot to 184,000. Marco Oliveira quickly folded from the big blind, and Campbell got out as well.
