Gurfinkel Gets There

Level 15 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

We mentioned earlier a hand in which Jeffrey Gurfinkel found himself all in before the flop with {J-Hearts}{4-Hearts} against an opponent's {A-Clubs}{J-Spades}, then flopped a heart flush to survive. Well, his stack remains below average, but his run-good most definitely continues as evidenced by a recent hand in which he felted two opponents.

Gurfinkel had {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} while his two opponents held {A-Clubs}{J-Clubs} and {Q-Clubs}{8-Spades}, with Alex Rivera having the latter hand. The flop came {K-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}{2-Spades} to pair Rivera's queen, then the {10-Clubs} landed on the river to give Gurfinkel a set but also give the third player a Broadway straight.

The river then brought the {Q-Spades}. All three players had led at some point in the post-flop proceedings, but it was Gurfinkel's full house that won the hand and the pot.

"Way to get there, Jeff," called a player from the next table.
