Gold Appreciating

What a terrible joke. Anyway, with the board reading {2-Diamonds} {7-Diamonds} {J-Hearts}, Jamie Gold and his opponent got all the money in the middle. Gold turned over {A-Diamonds} {Q-Diamonds} for the flush draw, but the other player had middle set with {7-Hearts} {7-Spades}. "That's the last hand I wanted to see," Gold said...and that's when the dealer peeled the {8-Diamonds}. "Yes!" Gold said, then beseeched, "don't pair the board, don't pair the board...."

The {A-Clubs} on the river indeed did not pair the board. Gold said, "Yes!", and he is now up over 15,000.
