Sep 09, '09
Santiago Terrazas is all in for 1.8 million in chips on K 4 2.
Marc Goodwin paces around the floor and the crowd starts to explode with Brits and Spaniards. He then points at Terrazas and says, “Call the clock” in memory of the big hand yesterday Goodwin was involved in with Carter Phillips where Terazzas called time. Terrazas laughs and then Goodwin spins around and says, “Call”. He flops over K J and Terrazas shows 8 5 for the flush draw.
The turn is the 5 and the river is the 4.
Goodwin takes the 4,620,000 pot down and Terazzas is eliminated in third place for €300,000.
We are now heads up, but there will first be a break of about 10 minutes.
