Ryan Goindoo
Ryan Goindoo

The action folded around to Ryan Goindoo in the small blind and he limped in. Benjamin Cox raised to 66,000 from the big blind and Goindoo called.

They went heads up to the {j-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{6-Hearts} flop, Goindoo checked and Cox threw out a bet of 80,000. Goindoo check-raised to 175,000 and Cox moved all in for just over 300,000. Goindoo snap-called, turning over {6-Clubs}{6-Spades} for a flopped set while Cox showed {k-Hearts}{k-Clubs}.

The turn {3-Clubs} and river {2-Hearts} were no help to Cox who was eliminated and Goindoo chipped up to over a million.

Hartree flipped over {J-Spades}{10-Hearts} and his jacks were good enough to win the pot.
