Rafael Pots Garcia

Level 21 : Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante

"Nino, Nino," Cesar Garcia said as the table was still discussing his big call against Nino Pansier.

"Did you at least have a good hand to call? I guess I'll find out," Pansier said.

"He had some bullshit as well, guaranteed," Filip Aleksic added.

"I didn't have too much, but I had to call, to be honest," Garcia said.

Pansier was then under the gun and asked Sean Rafael how much he had behind. Rafael replied he had around 3,000,000.

"Would you mind gambling with that, a little bit?" Pansier told him.

"I don't have the stack to do that," Rafael replied.

Pansier folded, while the rest of the table also folded to Rafael who limped in the small blind with K♠Q♥J♥5♠. Cesar Garcia then raised to 480,000, and Rafael called.

The flop came Q♦4♣3♥ and Garcia bet 400,000. Rafael then announced pot to 1,320,000, and Garcia folded J♣6♠6♥2♠.

"That's all I ask," Pansier added.

The river was the 2♣ and Pansier bet another 2,275,000. Garcia picked up his time bank cards and began shuffling them in his hand as he went deep in the tank. He ended up tossing three of them into the middle before emerging with a call with his pair of kings.

Pansier quickly mucked A♠9♠7♣6♣, allowing Garcia to take the pot without a showdown.

Gruffudd Pugh-Jones: A♠J♦8♠6♦ All in
Cesar Garcia: A♦Q♥7♠7♦

Pugh-Jones hit two pair on the J♥8♣2♣ flop, while the 3♦ turn left Garcia with just two outs going to the river. "Give me them chips," Pugh-Jones confidently said, and no miracles arrived for Garcia on the 3♠ river as he handed over the double up.
