Things Getting Tighter

Level 23 : 12,000/24,000, 3,000 ante

The chips are suddenly even after Zo Karim first folded to a five bet from Tam Minh Nguyen and then doubled up Steve Goose when Goose's {A-Clubs}{Q-Hearts} would hit a straight on a {10-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{J-Diamonds} board to best Karim's {4-Clubs}{4-Spades}.

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."
