Golden Turn

Fred Goldberg open-shoved for his last 6,000 or so, Duane Wellnitz called in middle position, and so too did Greg Vogelsong on the button. The flop came down {q-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{4-Clubs}, and Wellnitz moved all in for 19,700. Vogelsong didn't know what to do, so he decided to flip a coin.

It came up "call."

Goldberg: {q-Hearts}{8-Hearts}
Wellnitz: {k-Spades}{q-Clubs}
Vogelsong: {9-Hearts}{9-Clubs}

Wellnitz had both players in a world of hurt, that is until the {8-Spades} turned, giving Goldberg two pair. The {5-Hearts} bricked on the river, and Goldberg tripled up.

Wellnitz still came away ahead with the sidepot, while Vogelsong dropped to below 130,000 chips.
