Robertson and Gorodinsky Battle on the Bubble
Level 17
: 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Mike Gorodinsky raised 17,000 from middle position, Joshua Robertson called from the cutoff, and Tony Lin called from the big blind, because, he said, "I'm not folding my big blind!"
A flop of A?K?5? was spread and Gorodinsky lead for 27,000, with Roberston calling and Lin smacking his cards on the table with a big smile before chucking them.
Gorodinsky gave up the lead on a 8? turn and Roberston grabbed a stack of red 5,000 chips worth 85,000 and pushed them forward, and Gorodinsky matched it.
Gorodinsky checked again to Robertson on a river 5?, and this time Robertson cut out 125,000. Gorodinsky called, Robertson showed A?K?, Gorodinsky mucked and Robertson nearly doubled without risking going out on the bubble.
