You can go a long time watching poker before you see poker like this – a moment of brilliance from a great player.
Here’s the background: Jamie Gold has been playing extremely aggressively, raising frequently preflop and picking up a ton of pots by following up after the flop. He’d also been tabling his bluffs, at one point slamming down 2-3 on a J-J-Q-Q-X flop.
He opened-raised once again to 800k and was called by Allen in the big blind. The flop came 8d-3d-8h. Allen checked and Gold bet 1 Million. Allen called.
The turn was a 2, and Allen checked again. Gold checked.
The river was a Qs and Allen checked. Gold be 2 Million, and Allen thought for some time, then called. Allen showed A-9 – no pair, just Ace-high, with a mediocre kicker. Gold mucked. Cunningham raked a huge pot.
