Gollins Survives on the River
Level 8
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Christina Gollins moved all in for 11,000 from middle position, Vinubhai Patel reshoved in the cutoff, and the rest of the table got out of the way.
Christina Gollins: A♣5♣
Vinubhai Patel: A♦J♥
Both players hit top pair on the A♠2♦3♣ flop, while Patel remained in the lead with his jack-kicker. The turn was the Q♥, but Gollins hit the 4♠ on the river to make a straight and earn the double up.
Caleb Powell was recently sent to the rail at this table.
