Goldner Gets There

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Mordechai Goldner
Mordechai Goldner

Just moments after reentering and joining the table, Mordechai Goldner moved all in for his starting stack of 40,000 in the hijack. Kenneth Keppol had opened to 4,500 in early position, and made the quick call.

Mordechai Goldner: AQ All in
Kenneth Keppol: AK

"I'm going to sit down this time," Goldner said as he resisted the urge to stand and watch the runout. That proved profitable, as the 54JQ9 board gave Goldner top pair to double up through Keppol.
