Danny Ray Gonzales opened for a raise preflop in the cutoff and was called by the player on the button. After the ![]()
![]()
flop, he bet 2,000 and saw his foe raise to 6,000. Gonzales called, and a
turned. He checked, and his opponent moved all in for about 20,000.
"Call," Gonzales said quickly and forcefully, turning over ![]()
for the nuts. His opponent showed ![]()
and was drawing dead.
"Did you like the turn?" someone at the table asked with a laugh.
