Garcia Busts Darie and Stacks Up to Over 300,000
Level 10
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Cesar Garcia and Vlad Darie were in a pot, with Garcia occupying the big blind position and Darie under the gun. The hand began with Darie opening and then calling Garcia's three-bet.
The flop came 3♠5♣5♠ and Garcia bet small. Darie called and the turn came the J♠. Garcia fired another barrel, this time for 14,000 and Darie called.
The river came the 7♣ and after a few seconds Garcia announced he was all in with the covering stack. Darie called him immediately and just as quickly left the table and the room as the cards were revealed.
Darie had Q♦Q♠ for two pair, queens and fives. Garcia had A♥A♣ for two pair with aces and fives to win the pot. His stack soared to above 300,000, putting him among the chip leaders as Day 1b drew to a close.
