Big Stax 1500 (Day 1C): Vinny Naps On The Rail

Level 3 (Blinds 100/200/25)
Total Combined Entries: 230

Jeffrey Gottesman (Hunt. Valley, PA)

Walking by Table 46, we would catch a hand between Jeffrey Gottesman and Vinny Napolitano.  The players were on the flop of J♠ 6♠ 3♦, and Vinny had just check-called Gottesman's 6,300 bet.  After the K♦ on the turn, Napolitano checked once more, and Jeffrey announced himself all-in (covering Vinny).

Napolitano thought for a very long time, eventually pushing across his remaining 15,000 across the line for a call.  The hands were tabled:

Napolitano: A♣ J♠ (one pair)
Gottesman A♠ Q♠ (combo draw)

River: Q♥

Jeffrey did numerous outs going to the river, and Vinny would slam his chips down as Gottesman rivered a higher pair to take the pot.  Napolitano busted his first bullet of the day, while Jeffrey chips up to 90,000 with the pot.
