Gold is Golden Against the Not-So-Mighty Quinn

[user75032]

Jamie Gold

Jamie Gold had a slight chip lead over Stephen Quinn when the two players engaged in a pre-flop raising war that ended with Quinn all in. Gold called with pocket kings, {K-Spades}

{K-Spades}

{K-Diamonds}

, while Quinn tabled {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{10-Spades}

.

Neither player connected with a nine-high flop, {9-Diamonds}

{9-Diamonds}

{4-Diamonds}

{2-Hearts}

, but a murmur of anticipation went through the crowd when the turn came {8-Diamonds}

{8-Diamonds}

to give Quinn the nut flush draw.

"One time, Steve!" called out a spectator in the gallery. Not this time. The river blanked {8-Spades}

{8-Spades}

to send the qualifier Quinn home with a story, but no money. Jamie Gold has made the money.
