Ripnick Flips Out Goldner

Level 7 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Mordechai Goldner opened to 2,200 from under the gun, and Abel Gebeyehu made the call in the cutoff. John Ripnick three-bet to 9,000 on the button before Goldner announced all in for around 30,000.

Gebeyehu got out of the way, and Ripnick made the call.

Mordechai Goldner: AQ All in
John Ripnick: 99

Goldner was flipping, unable to connect with the 7K22K runout as Ripnick scored the elimination.
