It Takes Two Tarango
Level 11
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Billy Tarango opened up the action, as he potted to 8,500 from under the gun. Dustin Goldklang then repotted to 29,000 on the button, and Tarango stuck in the call. He then opted to lead out on the J♠10♥7♦ as he announced "pot" for 64,000. Goldklang put him all in for 17,000 more, and Tarango snapped him off.
Billy Tarango: J♣9♥8♣6♦ 
Dustin Goldklang: A♣A♦K♠J♥
Tarango had flopped the stones to crack, and was looking to fade the Broadway gutshot for a double. The A♥ turn gave Tarango a whole new host of outs to fade, but the 5♥ river kept it clean, as he soared to the almost 100 big blind mark.
