Facing a raise from Erich Karle, Sam Goncuoglu re-raised with pocket Jacks.The two players got all the chips in pre-flop for a huge pot with Karle holding the QQ.
Goncuoglu flopped two spades and turned a third to give him a sweat at a flush on the river, but the spade didn’t come. This pot left Goncuoglu’s stack crippled, and he was eliminated with K5 in a three-way pot a few hands later.
Sam Goncuoglu finished in 11th Place for $1,650.
