Todd Gozur

Patrick Leonard in the big blind, Joseph Aronesty in the hijack, and Todd Gozur in the cutoff all had two bets in the middle before the {q-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} flop was dealt.

It checked to Gozur and he bet 12,000. Leonard called and so did Aronesty. The {q-Spades} was rolled off the deck on the turn and Leonard lead out with a bet of 24,000. Aronesty got out of the way but Gozur wanted to see a river.

The river was the {4-Clubs} and Leonard checked to Gozur. Gozur bet 24,000 and that was enough to push Leonard out of the pot and scoop it all.
