Striking Gold on the River
Level 10
: 600/1,200, 200 ante
Our friends over at the PokerStars Blog recently gathered this hand between Matthew Goldman and Juan Martin Abal, in which Goldman found a lucky ace on the river to double up through Goldman to about 120,000.
All of the money went in preflop with Goldman holding the 
and all in for approximately 60,000. Abal held the 
and was in prime position to eliminate Abal and move to 160,000 in chips, but then the poker gods had other things in mind.
The flop, turn and river ran out 
to give Goldman the double.
