Deja Vu at Table 21
Toan Nguyen opened to 4,500 from late position and was called by Daniel Rago in the cutoff, but then Cody Golden moved all in from the button for 25,000.
Nguyen and Rago both tossed in their hands and Golden was awarded the pot for a nice pickup.
The very next hand, Nguyen opened again to 4,500 and again Rago made the call, and guess what, Golden AGAIN moved all in.
Nguyen made yet another fold but Rago had had enough and made the call to put him at risk.
Cody Golden: A♦K♦
Daniel Rago: K♥Q♥
It seemed like Rago had fallen right into Golden's trap, but the flop of J♥Q♦4♣ said differently as Rago took the lead with his pair of queens. The turn K♠ left Golden drawing to only an ace, or a ten for a straight, but the river 5♦ did not do it and he was eliminated from the tournament.
