Gold Crippled

We don't know the exact action, but we know that Jock McLean was all in preflop for 13,000, and that he was called by Erik Aude and Jamie Gold, who was on the button. The flop came down {3-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}, and Aude fired out a small bet of 2,000 to start a side pot. Gold quickly announced a raise to 15,000, and stuck it in the middle. Aude made the call, and the turn brought the {6-Diamonds}. Both players checked, and the river came the {8-Clubs}.

Aude checked again, and Gold started to count out his chips. He counted out all his yellow T1,000, which was 17,000 total, then grabbed for more chips. After about 45 seconds of counting his chips, Gold grabbed the original stack of yellows, and fired out 17,000 into the middle. As Aude started to think about it, Gold stood up, and appeared very eager to show his cards. Aude tossed in the call, and Gold said "you got it." Aude tabled {k-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}, and Gold said "wow you crippled me" and showed {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts}.

McLean flashed his {a-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} before heading to the rail, and Aude collected the whole pot. After that hand, Gold is down to 18,000.
