Goltz Gets Paid in Full
Level 9
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
With some 71,000 in the middle to the J♠J♥3♥10♠3♦ river, the player in the big blind bet 50,000 with as many chips behind. Shem Goltz in the cutoff then pushed all-in and his opponent was seemingly struck. It took some 30 seconds for the big blind to call with A♥J♣ for jacks full of treys but Goltz had that beat with the J♦10♥.
"I was afraid of that ... I almost folded," the defeated opponent said while another player chimed in with "it is a cursed seat", indicating that several players had already been eliminated from there.
They walked through the hand for several minutes and Wesley Fei concluded that a check-call would have been better and it was overplayed.
