When ESPN screened the final table of the 2006 WSOP Main Event, millions of people could be heard as one shouting, ‘How could he fold that hand?’

The hand they were referring to was when play was three-handed at the final table and Wasicka held 8♠-7♠, on a board of 5♠-6♠-10♣, giving him the open-ended straight flush draw. But there was just one problem – Gold had just moved all-in over the top of Binger’s post-flop continuation bet. Binger held top pair with A-10, while Gold had seen the flop with 3♣-4♠ for an open-ended straight draw. And with over 60m in chips, compared to Wasicka’s 14m and Binger’s 11m, he had a great chance to steal another big pot or knock either or both players out.
