Shathaya Doubles Through Goldman
Level 24
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Marc Goldman raised to 125,000 first to act and was three-bet to 315,000 by Sinan Shathaya in the hijack. Action folded back to Goldman and he called.
Goldman checked to Shathaya, who continued for 200,000 on the J♦A♣9♠ flop. Goldman tanked a while and then said, "Alright," as he slid in a raise large enough to put Shathaya all-in. Shathaya quickly committed his last 1,100,000 into the middle and hands were revealed.
Sinan Shathaya: A♥K♥
Marc Goldman: A♠8♠
Goldman found himself dominated, and the 5♦J♣ runout changed nothing to award Shathaya a late-night double-up.
