Gould Struggles, Then Busts
A flop was dealt; it was . Gould checked, Sorel Mizzi checked, and David Williams bet 2,000. Gould instantly raised pot, leaving himself 11,000 behind. Mizzi got out of there, and Williams paused. "I need a spin up," explained Gould. A moment later, Williams pulled a face as though his cards had broken wind under his nose, and passed his hand back to the dealer.
A few hands later, though, with mere shrapnel left and a complete unwillingness to come back tomorrow without a playable stack, Gould got his chips in and they never came back out again.
