All That Glitters IS Gold

In what is one of several recent three way pots in which someone raises to around 6k and two players in late position call, Jamie Gold has struck Gold by outdrawing Mathew Hankins in rather soul-crushing, gut-wrenching circumstances.

With Matthew raising to 6k pre-flop, Jamie called from the cut-off, as did Dave Colclough on the button. The action-packed {J-Clubs}

flop set off the fireworks, Hankins dwelling before betting 10k, which led to an all-in announcement from Gold.

Hankins called quicker than a cheetah on speed and proudly flipped over {K-Clubs}

for the nut straight. Exhaling deeply, Jamie could only muster {A-Diamonds}

for two pair, but remained confident of an outdraw by vocally demanding a Jack or an Ace and asking if anyone had folded either of those two cards.

"Did anyone fold an Ace?" he asks eagerly. "Nope? Looks like I have 6 outs then."

Well, not just one of those outs came, but two, Jamie jumping up for joy and high-fiving a railer as the turn brought the {A-Clubs}

. A couple of people were shouting for the {10-Clubs}

for the utimate re-draw, but it didn't quite happen, Gold's hand actually improving on the {A-Hearts}

river to give him Quaaaaaads!

There was a bit of uncertainty regarding who had who covered, but it was eventually unearthed that Gold had his man beat. He didn't say it to the entire table, but I shall report it anyhow, but as Hankins chips went sailing away, Gold commented, "That'll teach him for playing like an idiot earlier on."

He then turned to the table and added, "See, that's justice."
