No Loss for Goss

"Does it feel like a world championship event when both players in a hand are trembling?" asked Nicolas Levi, wandering away from his table where a big hand was taking place. Possibly not in level 2, but nevertheless, there was an {8-Diamonds} {3-Diamonds} {6-Diamonds} flop out and one Hylton Goss was betting out 1,800. His opponent was tanking and indeed shaking ever so slightly -- and eventually pushed for just pocket change more than Goss' bet. A call, and Goss' pocket kings were well ahead of his opponent's pocket queens. No further diamonds on the turn or river, as well as a distinct lack of queens, and Goss moved on up to around 5,500 while his luckless opponent headed for the door.
