Goddard Gets Chopped Up
Level 14
: 2,000/4,000, 500 ante
Max Hoffman: 
/ 
Aristide Carozza: 
/ 
Brian Goddard: 
/ 
Aristide Carozza held the betting lead throughout the entire hand but opted to check with Hoffman having four cards to a straight on his board. Hoffman took advantage of that and bet on every street. Both Carozza and Goddard called and Hoffman was the only player with a low hand.
That left the other half of the pot to be decided between Carozza and Goodard. Goddard first tabled two pair, jacks and tens, but Carozza had a bigger two pair with aces and kings to earn himself half of the pot.
