Garza Survives

[user57954]

Jeff Garza was all in pre-flop with his tournament on the line holding {J-Clubs}

{J-Clubs}

{J-Hearts}

against the {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{10-Spades}

of Masaaki Kagawa.

The flop was huge for Kagawa as it came {K-Spades}

{K-Spades}

{9-Spades}

{10-Diamonds}

to give him a pair and nut flush draw, yet he still trailed Garza's pair of jacks. The {9-Diamonds}

{9-Diamonds}

on the turn and the {4-Clubs}

{4-Clubs}

on the river didn't help Kagawa, and Garza finds a much needed double up to get his chip stack back to a narrow lead.
