Goonawardana Gone

[user80015]

Jason White opened to 700 from middle position. Action was on Marlon Goonawardana, seated in the hijack position, and he re-popped to 2,000. Play folded back to White, who instantly moved all-in for around 14,000. He was met with a double fist-pump snap-call from Goonawardana, who slammed down his {A-Spades}

on the felt.

A disappointed White turned over {A-Hearts}

. However, the flop of {K-Spades}

was dealt out and all the momentum shifted into White's favor.

Goonawardana was left hoping for the {A-Clubs}

to fall, and he would be let down with the turn of the {J-Diamonds}

and river of the {3-Diamonds}

. As the dealer cut down the chips, Goonawardana was covered by only the slightest of amounts and was consequently sent to the rail. White moved up to tournament chip leader after the hand, with over 28,000 in chips.
