Abreu Ascends the Rankings
Level 20
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Big blind Cesar Garcia and Jorge Abreu in the hijack had built a sizable pot of 425,000 when they saw the 10♠2♥A♠5♠ turn. Garcia checked to Abreu, who fired a bet of 155,000.
Garcia wanted to call, but accidentally put in too many chips. He claimed he had audibly announced his call, which was corroborated by one other player at the table. After some debate, his action was ruled a call.
The 2♠ then hit the river. Garcia led out for 250,000, causing Abreu to go deep into the tank. After a few time banks, Abreu raised all in for 505,000.
Garcia gave it some thought, but quickly shook his head and let his hand go in defeat.
