Things Getting Tighter
Level 23
: 12,000/24,000, 3,000 ante

Goose would jump out of his chair, yell "YES!" and then point out the five cards that made his winning hand by saying "seven, eight, nine, ten, jack". He would later apologize to Karim, who sat there taking it all in. "It's all good," said Karim. "Do what you have to do."
