Jamie Gold Is My Hero
That is what our reporter told us as he recounted the tale of Jamie Gold's demise.
As soon as the bubble burst, signifying that he had won his very hefty prop bet, Gold announced, "Never been so happy to cash in my life. Going out drinking if anyone's thirsty."
So, here's what happened.
Gold raised to 5,000 and the player on the button called. They saw a flop.
Flop:
Gold checked and his opponent bet 4,600. "Nice hand," said Gold and called.
Turn:
Gold checked and his opponent bet 11,200. "Nice hand," said Gold, and called again.
River:
Gold checked and his opponent moved all in to cover him. Gold called, and mucked his hand without looking. "I could have had the nuts," he said cheerfully, and left.
Awesome.
