Gold's Rush Continues

[user24788]
[user24788]
Jamie Gold is close to 50,000 after he took down another pot. This one featured three-way. On a flop of {Q-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{5-Diamonds}, the big blind checked as did Gold. Roland de Wolfe bet out for 5150 or roughly the pot. The big blind folded and Gold said, "Pot!"

De Wolfe tossed his hand into the muck and Gold smiled as he added more chips to his already hefty stack.

Doyle is down to his second chip stack after losing a whole heap of change to Marco Traniello. Traniello could be a Dark Horse in this event, after his 5th place Omaha finish at this years WSOP and a partner who knows a thing or two about poker.

Andy Black wanted to hire a masseuse to give him a massage while he's playing. The problem is that he's up against the rail and she doesn't have room to stand behind him. He solved the problem by moving his table forward a bit. If Andy Black is looking for a possible side career, he might consider the moving business. I hear that it's quite lucrative.

There's No Rush Gus

Arriving fashionably late is Great Dane Gus Hansen. I was confused at first as to how the shaven headed chick magnet had amassed a 21,800 stack in such a short time, but on second glance, I realised that he'd simply taken the option to utilise his second chance chip.

Gus looks extremely laid back today, reclining back on his seat and chatting away as if 5k to him was just small change. Hold on, it is!

"They can take that second chance whenever they want," confirms the TD, "but at Level 3 they have to have it whether they like it or not."

"I'll have if they don't want it!" I replied... desperately.

Not Good as Gould

[user3511]
[user3511]
Josh Gould, son of NPL Champion Peter Gould, has just lost his first stack.

All the money goes in on a {6-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts} flop

Gould has {3-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{6-Clubs} for a very big draw.
New best friend has {A-Clubs}{Q-Spades}{K-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}

Turn is a {4-Hearts} giving New Best Friend a full house and Gould rebuys.

[user3511]
Snoopy claims the table of doom is downstairs, I wager to differ. Now that Annette_15 has gone shopping for the day her seat has been replaced with......Hoyt Corkins. So we have

Lee Nelson
Hoyt Corkins
Phil Gordon
Tony G
Allen Cunningham
Howard Lederer

Nenad Medic is also at the table and he is the one with all the chips.

Gold Rush

[user4144]
[user4144]
If anyone can think of any original Gold headlines, then please let me know. :-P

But if ever Jamie was on a 'Gold Rush', it would be now, the 2006 WSOP Champ already on a mouth-watering 36,500 in chips after eliminating two players early doors.

I just caught Roland DeWolfe snatching a smallish pot off Gold with Pocket Queens on a 4-2-K-K-7, but at the moment, it's just a drop in the ocean for the Californian who seems to be riding the waves with considerable ease.

Cooney Island

Irishman Tony Cooney has just forced the Hawaiian shirted Pascal Perrault to reach for his second batch of chips, Cooney surviving an all-in on a 6-6-x with a Six in his hand against the Frenchman's Pocket Aces.

Pascal made a flush draw on the River, but it was academic as it gave Cooney a superior full house.
