Rocky Start for Gold

Jamie Gold

Now that Jamie Gold's table is finally playing with the correct blinds, the pots have gotten a bit bigger. With Gold playing every hand, his stack has taken a hit.

After three players checked a flop of {A-Clubs} {8-Diamonds} {8-Spades}, Gold bet 1,000 when the turn fell {Q-Clubs}. He got one caller, who called again on the river {9-Spades} and showed {A-Diamonds} {10-Spades}. Gold nodded and mucked his hand.

He's down to about 14,600, but let everyone at his table know that he started the day in the same seat back in 2006, when he went on to win the Main Event.
