Look Out, Here Comes Goldstein

We got to the table and started to take in what would develop into a huge hand. It looked like Josh Goldstein had raised from late position (as there was about 10,000 in the pot) with the dealer re-raising an additional 6,400. Goldstein took a couple of minutes to announce a four-bet for an additional 10,100. Another few minutes later the player on the button said he was all in and Goldstein snap-called.

Goldstein: {a-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}
Opponent: {a-Hearts}{8-Spades}

Goldstein was way ahead, but he picked up a bit of a sweat when the flop came down {8-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{j-Clubs}. The {k-Hearts} came on the turn, and while the {7-Clubs} river was a bit of a heart-stopper, Goldstein's aces held up.

After the hand it looks like Goldstein is the proud owner of 163,000 chips.
