Matthew Goldman Finds Runner-Runner Redemption

Level 21 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante
Dan Kelly During Day 3 Action
Dan Kelly During Day 3 Action

As this Day 3 progresses at a torrid pace, the players have been pushing their chips around the table early and often. Matthew Goldman was the latest to get his stack into the middle, but his {6-Clubs}{6-Spades} was crushed by the {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs} held by Dan Kelly.

A flop of {K-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} appeared to be quite safe for Kelly's overpair, but the presence of connected low cards must have been a bit disconcerting. The {7-Diamonds} on the turn confirmed those fears, offering Goldman a lifeline in the form of an open-ended straight draw.

River: {3-Hearts}

Just like that, Goldman had doubled his stack of 240,000 through the dangerous Kelly, and he now sits with an average stack.
