Garcia KOs Pertgen to Take Chiplead
Level 5
: 400/800, 800 ante
On a heads-up turn board that read 2♣5♠6♣, the pot was already swelled when Cord Garcia moved all in against Mark Pertgen.
Pertgen thought for several moments before he decided to make the call, putting himself at risk. He then flipped over 7♠7♦ for an overpair and an open-ended straight draw but was in second place when Garcia tabled 9♣9♦ for a superior pair.
The river bricked with the 4♣ and Pertgen was sent to the rail while Garcia was shipped the big pot, catapulting him into the chip lead.
