Gofman Wins Broadway

Jeremy Geist

Level 21 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Action was opened under the gun to 8,000. Next to act was Tanupat Punjarojanakul who put in a three-bet to 22,000. There was then a cold-call from the cutoff and action made it to Aleksandr Gofman in the big blind who also cold-called. The original raiser called and the players were off to a flop four ways.

The Q?10?9? flop landed and Gofman went into the tank. After about a minute he led into the field for 75,000. under the gun folded and Punjarojanakul immediately moved all in. The rest of the players folded and Gofman snap-called.

The cards hit their backs.

Aleksandr Gofman: Q?J?
Tanupat Punjarojanakul: Q?Q?

Punjarojanakul had already drilled a set but Gofman was live with an open-ender.

The A? landed on the turn and the K? landed on the river giving Gofman the straight and leaving Punjarojanakul's stack smashed.
