Jamie Gold Out in 17th Place ($20,788)

Under the gun, Saied Zamiri opens to 41,000, and Daiane Mendes (middle position) and Jamie Gold (big blind) both call.

The three players take a [AsJd6c] flop, and Gold checks to the raiser. Zamiri continues out with 81,000, which is enough to coax a fold from Mendes. Gold makes a quick call, though, and the [7d] lands on the turn.

Gold has about 140,000 chips left in front of him, and he commits them all to the pot with a verbal, "All in." Zamiri calls quickly with the covering stack.

Zamiri: [AcJc]
Gold: [Ad4d]

"I need a miracle," Gold says as he awaits his fate. Only a diamond will save his tournament life, but the river is a blank [2c].

Gold is out in 17th place, while Zamiri nearly doubles to about 535,000.
