Garcia Takes a Three-Way All In on the River
Level 16
: Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Julian Wyss moved all in for 45,000 from the small blind, Carlos Garcia also shoved for 75,000 in the big blind, and Turbo Nguyen put both players at risk in middle position.
Julian Wyss: K♠J♣ 
Carlos Garcia: A♥Q♣
Turbo Nguyen: 9♠9♣
Wyss and Garcia both needed to improve against Nguyen's nines as the board ran out Q♠2♣3♣4♥, keeping Nguyen in the lead going to the river. The dealer turned over the A♣ on the river, giving Garcia top pair and earning him the pot to double off Nguyen while sending Wyss to the rail.
"You only play ace-queen? I've seen you play two hands today, both ace-queen," tablemate Kevin Houghton said to Garcia after the hand.
