Goldfarb Withstands the Heat

There was an under the gun raise to 11,000. A player in the cutoff called and Michael Goldfarb defended his big blind. The players were off to see a board three ways.

The 2♣4♠7♠ flop hit the felt and it checked to the cutoff who went all in for 26,000. Goldfarb went into the tank for over a minute before sliding in the call. The player that was under the gun also called.

The action checked through on the 6♥ turn and K♥ river.

The cutoff had A♣Q♣ for ace high. The under-the-gun player had whiffed with Q♠J♠ and Goldfarb scooped with 5♣5♠.
