Goodman Flops Top Set and Gets Value on All Three Streets

Kai Cocklin

Level 18 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

David Goodman opened the hijack to 24,000 and Daniel Zack three-bet to 85,000 out of the small blind. Goodman made the call to see a flop.

On the 2♦8♠A♣ board, Zack continued for 48,000 and Goodman called.

The 6♦ turn saw Zack slow down with a check, Goodman bet 55,000, and Zack called.

When the 3♥ landed on the river, Zack checked again and was faced with a bet of 185,000 from Goodman. It took around two minutes before Zack came to a decision and he did so by sliding a stack of chips forward and made the call.

Goodman flipped over A♥A♠ for top set and Zack rechecked his cards before he mucked.

The rest of the board came 7♠7♦ and Fleischer scooped the entire pot, doubling up off Yin while sending Halverson to the rail.

Level 18 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

The action was picked up on the turn, where John Ripnick, on the button, bet 70,000 into a pot of slightly under 100,000.

The board read J♠9♥K♦6♠. Michel Molenaar, who was in the big blind, thought for a few moments and then called.

By the river, which was 4♦, the pot had ballooned to around 240,000. Molenaar checked first to act and Ripnick bet his remaining stack for just a bit under the size of the pot. After thinking for some time, Molenaar called.

Ripnick turned over Q♣10♥ for the nuts, while Molenaar showed he had 6♥9♠ for turned two pair.
