"I have a straight", said Gold, tabling . Both of his opponents mucked, and Gold raked in the pot. He had apparently lost a big pot earlier, but he has rebuilt to half the starting stack now.

Gold has been fairly quiet on the tournament scene of late, with just one cash in 2016 and none in 2017 so far. Despite his lone cash in 2016, it was certainly a good one. He finished as the runner-up in the 2016 WSOP $1,675 Circuit Main Event at The Bicycle Casino for $139,820, losing to Antonio Esfandiari in an epic battle heads-up.

Of Gold's $12,586,358 in lifetime earnings, $12 million of that came from his 2006 WSOP Main Event win, defeating Paul Wasicka for the title. That win earned him the lion's share of in the largest live poker tournament prize pool in history, totaling $82,512,162, with 8,773 unique entries at $10,000 a piece.
