"What the F*** Is Going On?" Gold in the Twilight Zone
Jamie Gold may fittingly be playing in the Gold section, but the 2006 Main Event champion is really in the Twilight Zone.
Gold opened to 1,000,000 from under the gun and Prashanth Nataraj called in the big blind.
Nataraj checked on the flop of 5♣A♥J♥ and Gold moved all in. Nataraj called with his remaining stack of under three big blinds.
Prashanth Nataraj: J♦5♦
Jamie Gold: A♣Q♦
Gold had top pair with a good kicker, and he couldn't believe that his opponent had out-flopped him.
"What the f*** is going on? What the f***," the 2006 Main event champion groaned, as someone at the table commented that he was in the "Twilight Zone."
Adding to injury, the 5♠ turn gave Nataraj a full house before the 8♥ river confirmed his double through the start of day chip leader.
