Corbelli Doubles Up Garnies Early On
Level 16
: Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Guido Garnies had initially opened to 22,000 from middle position with just 10,000 behind. Roberto Corbelli raised to 40,000 from the hijack and Garnies called the rest of his chips to put his tournament life at risk.
Guide Garnies: A♣9♦
Roberto Corbelli: K♦Q♦
Garnies smashed the flop as it came A♥9♣8♠. The Swiss native gained outs on the J♣ turn, now needing a ten on the river to hit a straight and take the hand from Garnies.
Garnies held on with a K♠ coming on the turn as Corbelli doubled him up.
