Garces Gets an Unexpected Double
Level 12
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Around 40,000 was in the pot as Fernando Garces and an opponent went to the turn on a board of 7♦K♠10♣2♦. Garces then moved all in for 25,000 from the button and his opponent called in the big blind.
Garces showed K♦Q♦ for top pair and had his opponent's K♥4♥ dominated going to the river. The dealer turned over the 4♦ and Garces put his hands on his head in disappointment as his opponent made two pair. A tablemate, though, pointed out that Garces had made a flush and he found new life with a double up.
