Gold Doubles Through Czuczor After Bubble
Niveau 16
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
The payout line is increasing by the minute as the field has already lost over 100 players since the bubble burst.
Jamie Gold, the winner of the previous biggest Main Event in 2006, was at risk of joining them when he jammed all in for 159,000 after Marton Czuczor opened his button. Czuczor snap called and the cards were tabled.
Jamie Gold: K♠J♣
Marton Czuczor: J♠J♦
"I didn't think he had much, that's why I jammed king-jack," Gold said in his own defense.
The flop remained good for Czuczor with 3♣8♠8♥, but Gold struck gold when the K♣ hit on the turn. No jack arrived on the 10♣ river and Gold doubled up to still be in contention to become the first two-time main event champion in the 21st century.
