Garberg Catches Kapoor Bluffing; Phan Folds to Soyza
With two five-handed tables, a soft hand for hand play has been implemented by the tournament staff and there wasn't a ton of action in the first few hands.
That changed when Markus Garberg on the button clashed with Akshay Kapoor in the big blind. Kapoor three-bet to 140,000 and was called to then bet the 
flop for 100,000, Garberg called. On the 
turn, Kapoor made it 225,000 to go and Garberg stuck around.
Kapoor immediately pushed all-in after the 
river.
Garberg had 400,000 behind and used at least two time bank extensions before he called. Kapoor flipped over 
for a bluff and Garberg doubled with the 
for the top pair.
Over on the other table, Quoc Huy Phan raised to 40,000 and folded when Michael Soyza three-bet. "If you had a pair you are fucked, I had tens," Soyza mentioned in table chat. Phan said he was thinking about jamming but couldn't at this stage.
