Jairo Races for His Tournament Life

David Garcia opened for 70,000 only to have Jhon Jairo move all in for 275,000 total on the button. After the blinds got out of the way, Garcia made the call and it was off to the races.

Showdown
Garcia: {9-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}
Jairo: {K-Spades}{Q-Spades}

The {10-Spades}{6-Clubs}{A-Diamonds} flop kept Garcia in the lead, but it did give Jairo outs to a straight. Wouldn't you know it, the said straight was completed when the {J-Hearts} spiked on the turn. Garcia was drawing dead as the {8-Diamonds} was run out on the river. Jairo survived the hand, doubling to 600,000, while Garcia was set back to 770,000.
