From under the gun, Jason Gooch raised all in for 67,000. Michael Wang was in the next seat and called. Action then folded to Olivier Busquet on the button, and he gave it some thought for a little bit before he folded. It looked as though Busquet was contemplating a reshove with his stack of around 350,000. Everyone else folded, and it was Gooch's 
up against Wang's 
.
"Wow," said Busquet with a sigh of relief.
The board ran out 
, and Wang won the pot to bust Gooch.
"I almost played really bad and got there," said Busquet, hinting that if he had shove she would've cracked Wang's kings and won.
