Garcia Extends his Chip Lead on the Last Hand of the Day

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

With all of the other tables finished for the night, all eyes were on the table featuring the current chip-leader, Jose Carlos Garcia. In the last hand of the night Garcia opened from early position and Joao Simao called from the big blind. The flop was {7-Spades}{5-Clubs}{4-Clubs} and Simao lead for 22,000, which then Garcia called.

The turn was the {4-Spades}, but this time Simao checked, allowing Garcia to bet 68,000, which Simao called.

The river brought the {q-Clubs}, and this time Garcia bet 100,000. Simao called but mucked when Garcia showed {k-}{4-}. A big pot for the chip leader meant the ended the day just shy of 700,000 chips ahead of his nearest rival.
