Pugh-Jones Makes a Big Fade as Garcia's One Time Doesn't Come Through
Level 24
: Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante
Gruffudd Pugh-Jones raised to 900,000 on the button, Cesar Garcia reraised to 2,700,000, and Pugh-Jones called.
The flop came A♥J♥8♣ and Garcia bet 2,800,000. Pugh-Jones called, and the K♠ fell on the turn.
Garcia then bet 6,000,000, and Pugh-Jones moved all in. Garcia snap-called for his last 16,600,000.
Pugh-Jones showed Q♣10♣9♦5♦ for the nut straight, while Garcia had the same straight with K♣Q♥J♠10♥ but had draws to a flush or full house.
"Hit one time. My one time. Do it dealer," he pleaded as a large crowd gathered around the table, but he missed the 4♦ river and they chopped the pot.
