Jamie Gold Nears the Felt

...After doubling up Marcello Marigliano in a strange preflop all-in-fest. Gold moved in for around 55k on the button, and quick as a flash small blind Marigliano called all in (for 44k). Big blind Dominic Kay thought about it, with Jamie Gold saying, "Think how much money you could win. You're getting the right odds..." He passed though, and Marigliano turned his hand over first.

He had {3-Diamonds}

.

A surprised Gold said, "That's the best I could hope for!" showing {A-Clubs}

.

The flop came {10-Hearts}

, and a brief spate of somewhat coarse language was softened by, "Nice hand," as the turn and river came {K-Hearts}

. Then the edge was roughened up again, as the cameras caught Gold saying, "Called with threes. This is the World Series....there's a difference between pushing with it and calling with it for all your chips."
