Goldstein Pushes Through the Crowd
Level 22
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Stephen Goldstein began the hand with a raise to 40,000 from under the gun and was called in middle position by Barbara Lewis. The table folded to Martin Kohler in the small blind, who called, and Marcelo Bottino came along from the big blind.
Kohler and Bottino checked the flop of 9♣K♦6♦ before Goldstein fired 45,000. Lewis called while Kohler folded. Bottino stayed in the hand to keep it three-handed, headed to the turn.
Bottino checked the 4♥ turn, which led to an all-in bet by Goldstein for 280,000. Lewis contemplated before she folded, and Bottino yielded with a fold to end the hand.
