Garcia Nearing the Million Mark

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante
Jose Carlos Garcia - Quan Zhou
Jose Carlos Garcia - Quan Zhou

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 {K-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}. Both players checked the {9-Hearts} on the turn and the {6-Diamonds} 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.
