Gold Builds Early Stack
Level 2
: Blinds 200/300, 300 ante
Jamie Gold has built a healthy stack early in the tournament. He was under the gun against an opponent in the cutoff to the 9♠7♠6♠ flop.
Gold bet 600 stating, "Well, I have to bet, the cameras are here."
The cutoff reraised to 2,000, Gold reraised to 5,200 and the cutoff raised all in. Gold snap-called with a flush, showing K♠5♠ while the cutoff held 8♠5♥ for a flopped straight with straight flush redraw.
The cutoff failed to complete his straight flush and Gold chipped up while scoring the early knockout.
