Whitehead Finds Ambitious Shove
Level 21
: Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
Day 1d chipleader Gary Whitehead had raised preflop from early position and Fabian Ghidarcea called in middle position. The flop then fell 4♥9♦J♦ and Whitehead continued for 37,000.
Ghidarcea raised to 90,000 and Ghidarcea three-bet jammed, covering his opponent's stack of 254,000.
Ghidarcea snap called and the cards went on their backs.
Fabian Ghidarcea: A♠J♥ 
Gary Whitehead: A♥8♥
Whitehead was drawing very thin, but the 8♦ turn gave him some semblance of hope. The 10♣ river secured the pot for Ghidarcea's top pair, however, as he doubled up to an above-average stack.
