Goran Gratte Grots Gould

Actually, it wasn't that awful, but clearly frustrating for Josh Gould, who had to interrupt a massage in order to vacate his seat and head to the rail. He'd seen a flop with neighbor Goran Gratte: {7-Diamonds}

{7-Diamonds}

{8-Diamonds}

{9-Spades}

and raised his bet of 2,000 to 6,000. Back to Gratte who contemplated for a long while, before setting in his shorter-stacked (12,000) opponent. Gould called instantly with his flopped set of eights ( {8-Clubs}

{8-Clubs}

{8-Spades}

) but Gratte held the {10-Clubs}

{10-Clubs}

{10-Hearts}

.

The turn brought the {J-Clubs}

{J-Clubs}

and a quietly irritated, "Straight away!" from Gould, and the {6-Diamonds}

{6-Diamonds}

made no difference. I am not sure the masseuse realized he had to get up and leave, as he sort of wriggled out from beneath her relaxing touch and left the tournament.
