Solid Gold...man

"All-in and call" was announced from Table 331 in the Amazon Room, and when we arrived Marc Goldman had {A-Diamonds}{K-Spades} tabled in front of him. His opponent opened {Q-Spades}{Q-Clubs} and it was off to the races.

The {8-Spades}{6-Hearts}{8-Hearts} flop was innocent and so too was the {10-Clubs} on the turn. The {K-Clubs} on the river was not, and Goldman almost jumped out of his shoes.

With an unlit cigarette hanging from his mouth Sammy Farha style, Goldman began pacing around the table unable to control himself.

"What a hit," he said finally returning to his seat. "I can't believe you called."

His opponent remained silent, dejected at the outcome as a tournament director counted Goldman's chips. The final about was 86,500 and after adding the main pot, Goldman's stack ballooned to 190,000 chips.

Hitting the Phan

Tom Phan raised it up to 1,600 in early position and was faced with a reraise to 4,800 from another player a seat or two down the line. In mid position, Zvi Groysman called, and once it had folded back to him, Phan called too.

All three players checked the {3-Hearts}{k-Hearts}{5-Spades} flop and they duly proceeded to the {6-Diamonds} turn. Phan now bet out 7,000, and although one player folded, Groysman made the call.

The river was the {5-Diamonds} and Phan moved in for around 18,000. Groysman called and promptly tabled {8-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}. Whatever Phan was holding, we didn't get to see it. "You got me," was all he said as he mucked and headed to collect his modest winnings.

Groysman meanwhile is at 88,000.

Drew Can't Outdraw Aces

Drew Crawford opened for 4,000 in mid position, only for the player on the button to make it 11,000 to go. Crawford called and they saw a flop.

Flop: {a-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}

Crawford checked, and the button bet 10,000. Crawford now check-raised to 35,000, his opponent went all in for another 33,600, and Crawford made the call. On their backs, gentlemen.

Crawford: {a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds} for top pair, the nut flush draw and some backdoor straight outs
Button: {a-Spades}{a-Clubs} for top set

Turn: {k-Hearts} spelling zero outs for Crawford

River: an irrelevant but pretty {k-Spades}

Crawford dropped to a still up-there 190,000.

Cole Busts

After a series of preflop raises, Corwin Cole got his stack in the middle with an opposing player holding {A-Hearts}{9-Hearts}.

Unfortunately his opponent held two other nines; {9-Spades}{9-Clubs}.

The board ran {K-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} and Cole grabbed his bag before heading to the cage to collect his earnings.

Hair-Raising Ride for Baldwin

Eric Baldwin found himself in a pretty bad spot, holding pocket nines against an all-in opponent's pocket queens. Baldwin only just covered his opponent.

The {a-Hearts}{k-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} flop and {8-Clubs} turn were just fine for the all-in player, but the {9-Hearts} river was not.
All in went out, and Baldwin almost doubled to 70,000.

Crawford Hits Two-Outer

Drew Crawford is still climbing after hitting a two outer on the turn to bust a player.

Crawford held {7-}{7-} against an opponent's {K-}{K-} but a seven turned and Crawford eliminated his opponent. His stack keeps trending up, it's now at 245,000 chips.

Lefew has LeZero

Benjamin Lefew has been very short since losing a big pot to Jonathan Aguiar, doubling and tripling his stack in small increments.

He finally busted moments ago after getting it all in with the player sitting to his right. We didn't see the action, but Lefew stood up and was usher away by a Rio employee soon after.
