Garcia Nearing the Million Mark
Level 19
: 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante
Jose Carlos Garcia opened to 16,000 from the hijack and his neighbor Quan Zhou three-bet to 39,000 from the cutoff. The button and both blinds folded, Garcia made the call.
The man from Poland with the oh so Spanish name, check-called a bet of 41,000 on 
. Both players checked the 
on the turn and the 
completed the board. Garcia announced all in, effectively betting 351,000 into a pot of 179,000!
Zhou tanked long and hard, and eventually decided to fold. Garcia didn't show his overbet, he mucked it without showing anything.
