Queen Fools Gould

He may have turned 10,000 into 400,000 last night, but Peter Gould's going to have to do it all over again after being crippled by Steven Fung. I didn't catch the preflop action, but with hands on their backs, it was Peter Gould (button) who had his nose in front, his {A-Spades}

in splendid shape against the inferior {A-Hearts}

of Steven Fung (under-the-gun).

With about 300,000 a piece (Fung a little less), a 600,000 pot sat patiently in the middle as players were forced to wait for the cameras to arrive before knowing their fate.

Flop: {6-Hearts}

After each street, the dealer paused until being given the go ahead by ESPN.

Turn: {2-Clubs}

Again, a pause, which only enheightened the drama as...

River: {Q-Hearts}

"Wow," said an aghast Gould, tapping his remaining chips against the felt.

A camera was thrown into his face; Gould remained composed. "Well played."
