Goyal Pays it Off
Level 6
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
There was 21,000 in the middle on a board reading 2♠J♠6♦3♣K♣ and two players still had hole cards. Tarun Goyal bet out for 9,000, only for Stian Usterud to go all in for his final 27,500. Goyal tossed and turned and tanked, eventually finding the call. "Straight?" he asked.
Usterud did indeed show 5♣4♦ for the nuts, alongside A♦Q♦.
