Jamie Gold Talks a Pot Away From Hoyt Corkins

With the board showing {7-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{5-Spades} on the river, Jamie Gold bet 20,000 from the small blind position, and Hoyt Corkins thought for a bit before asking Gold for a chip count. Gold moved his chips into clear view and said, "You're gonna move all-in? I must be in more trouble than I thought." As Corkins continued thinking, Gold added, "I don't have a nine." (Which would give him a nine-high straight.)

Corkins eventually folded, and Gold asked "could you beat a seven?" as he showed the {7-Clubs}. The dealer flipped over Gold's other card, which was the {Q-Clubs}, meaning he really had nothing more than the pair of sevens.
