Poker After Dark - Gold Betting with Gold

  During the third season of Poker After Dark the Champions Week show brought on six former World Series of Poker champions: Huck Seed, Phil Hellmuth, Chris Ferguson, Berry Johnston, Jamie Gold, and Johnny Chan. All of these players had a lot of respect for each other, but the one man who had to work the hardest for that respect was Jamie Gold.  Gold won his championship in 2006 with controversy and has been accused with "just being lucky" as opposed to skillful. However, anyone who watches Jamie bluff knows that he has skill, and he also knows how to look like he is bluffing when he really has the goods.  In this hand Chris raised it up pre flop with: ... to $1,200. Jamie made the call holding: ... a questionable call unless he had a good read on Ferguson. The flop came: ... bringing two pair for Gold. He checked, however, hoping to invite Chris to make a move, but Chris checked as well. The turn card came: ... and this time Jamie pushed in $2,000 in tourney chips and cash. Chris thought about it, figured he was good, and raised it up to $6,000. Chris knows about Jamie's bluffing and respects him well enough, so he wanted to see what the score was.  Jamie didn't take long to make up his mind, and he moved all in for a few thousand more. That was enough for Chris, who folded out of the way. Jamie showed his two pair to the table, letting them know he did not always shoot blanks.
