Pugh-Jones Tempts Fate, Still Doubles
Level 20
: Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Cesar Garcia raised to 420,000 on the button before Gruffudd Pugh-Jones announced pot in the big blind. Garcia instantly moved all in, and Pugh-Jones called for 2,350,000.
Gruffudd Pugh-Jones: A♠J♦8♠6♦
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.
