An Orbit with Chip Leader Alan Gold
How do you wield the big stack in the early levels of Day 2 in a tournament? Do you pressure the short stacks with relentless raises, or do you bide your time, pick your spots and preserve your hard earned stack? We spent an orbit watching chip leader Alan Gold to find out.
Hand#1 (Big blind) A raise from mid-position to 6,500, folded round to Gold in the big blind who checks his cards and folds.
Hand#2 (Small blind) Folded round to Gold in the small blind, he raised to 5,000. The big blind folded. Gold sighed and turned his cards up. 
Hand#3 (Button) Facing an all-in from late position, Gold and the blinds fold.
Hand#4 (Cut-off) Gold opens for 4,100. Cahal Heapes in the big blind counts his chips and raises to 13,000. Gold folds.
Hand#5 (Hi-Jack) No action when it gets to Gold, who folds.
Hand#6 (Lo-Jack) Gold opens for 4,100. Folded around to Ruairi Park in the big blind who moved all-in. Gold calls and shows 
against Park’s 
. The board ran out 
to knock Park out.
Hand#7 (Mid-Position) Folds.
Hand#8 (UTG+1) Gold folds to an raise from UnderThe Gun
Hand#9 (UTG) Folds.
So there you have a small sample. Nothing too crazy, going with his premium hands when he gets them, folding to resistance when he does. Gold looks calm and collected, settled in for the long day of poker ahead.
