Hand #82-- Peter Gould Doubles Through Jonathan Aguiar

Jonathan Aguiar raised to 81,000 from UTG+1 and Peter Gould thought a time before moving all in. Aguiar instantly called and turned over {A-Hearts} {K-Diamonds} to Gould's {5-Clubs} {5-Spades}. Aguiar had Gould barely covered and they saw a {7-Spades} {7-Diamonds} {J-Hearts} flop, opening the possibility that Gould's pocket pair would be counterfeited.

That is, until the {5-Hearts} fell on the turn, leaving Aguiar drawing dead. The meaningless {8-Hearts} on the river meant nothing and Gould doubled up to around 1.2 million. Losing that hand crippled Aguiar and left hime with around 150,000.
