Solid Gold...man
"All-in and call" was announced from Table 331 in the Amazon Room, and when we arrived Marc Goldman had tabled in front of him. His opponent opened and it was off to the races.
The flop was innocent and so too was the on the turn. The on the river was not, and Goldman almost jumped out of his shoes.
With an unlit cigarette hanging from his mouth Sammy Farha style, Goldman began pacing around the table unable to control himself.
"What a hit," he said finally returning to his seat. "I can't believe you called."
His opponent remained silent, dejected at the outcome as a tournament director counted Goldman's chips. The final about was 86,500 and after adding the main pot, Goldman's stack ballooned to 190,000 chips.
