Jamie Gold Hits 86,000

With the board showing {Q-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{8-Spades}, Jamie Gold asks his opponent "How much you got left?" As the player begins to count out his stack, Gold says "That's OK...I'll just go all in." Gold is called and shows {10-Hearts}{9-Spades}. His opponent has {A-Hearts}{A-Spades} and is drawing dead to a made straight. The river is the meaningless {9-Hearts}. Gold is now at 86,000 -- the current chipleader.
