A Showdown for the Ages

Matt Hansen

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Curtis Oliver raised to 12,000 from the small blind and Jamie Gold called from the big blind. The flop was 10♠9♦6♦.

Both players checked the flop and then again on the Q♥ turn. It was check-check once more on the 4♣ river and they both turned over their cards.

"You got it," Gold said.

"I don't know about that," Oliver responded as he turned over 8♥5♠. Gold had 8♠6♠ to take the pot with a pair of sixes.
