Goodman Cracks Aces For Fortunate Double
Level 20
: Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
David Goodman was all in for 130,000 from early position and up against Jose Nadal in the cutoff.
David Goodman: K♠10♦
Jose Nadal: A♣A♦
Nadal had woken up with aces and was poised to send Goodman out as the A♠J♥9♦ flop gave him top set. The turn, though, came the Q♠ and Goodman made a straight to take the lead.
Nadal needed the board to pair to fill up but instead saw the 5♣ fall on the river as Goodman found a miracle to stay alive.
