Goonawardana Spikes Set

Marlon Goonawardana

Three players called a raise to 650 by a player in middle position and took a flop of {4-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}. The action was checked to Marlon Goonawardana on the button, who fired out 2,000. This thinned the field by one as three players went to the turn where the {Q-Hearts} peeled off.

Again the action checked to Goonawardana who bet out a healthy 6,000 chips. The under-the-gun player was the lone caller as a big pot was brewing.

However the river landed the {7-Clubs}, which scared both players with four to the straight on board as they checked it down. The UTG player tabled {Q-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} for two pair but Goonawardana took it down with {5-Clubs}{5-Hearts} for a flopped set. He's now up to 31,700 chips.
