Goldberg Holds Faith in the Ladies

Level 18 : 3,000/6,000, 500 ante

Stephen Sallot limped from early position, and Kerry Goldberg raised to 27,000 from late position. The action folded back around to Sallot, who moved all in for 157,000. Goldberg called for just less than that — 155,000.

Goldberg: {q-Spades}{q-Hearts}
Sallot: {7-Spades}{7-Clubs}

Goldberg was way out in front with his pocket queens, but when the dealer fanned the flop of {8-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{7-Hearts}, the roles were reversed, with Sallot now in the lead. The turn was the {5-Hearts}, and Goldberg started to get out of his seat. However, the river brought the {q-Diamonds}, and the table erupted. Goldberg rivered a bigger full house than Sallot, leaving his opponent with just 2,000 chips.
