Smooth Sailing On Golden Waters

[user67765]

Steve Goldwater and Linda Thorton got all of their chips into the middle on a flop of {5-Diamonds}

{5-Diamonds}

{3-Diamonds}

{4-Spades}

, with Thorton showing {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{2-Diamonds}

for the wheel plus the nut flush draw as Goldwater flipped {4-Clubs}

{4-Clubs}

{4-Hearts}

for middle set!

Needing the board to pair, Goldwater was relieved to see the {3-Hearts}

{3-Hearts}

peel off on the turn to give him a full house as Thorton went from a monster to drawing to one out; the case four, which would give Goldwater quads but make Thorton a straight flush. It wasn't to be as the river blanked the {K-Clubs}

{K-Clubs}

, ending the day for Thorton and jumping Goldwater, who is a regular tournament player at Crown Casino, up to 15,000 chips and in great shape.
