Garcia Doubles Into a Big Lead
Level 24
: Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante
Cesar Garcia limped in on the button, Gruffudd Pugh-Jones raised to 900,000, and Garcia called.
Pugh-Jones checked the 10♣8♣5♥ flop and Garcia bet 1,700,000. Pugh-Jones called, and the Q♦ fell on the turn.
Garcia then bet 4,200,000, and Pugh-Jones again called. The river was the 4♦ and Garcia moved all in for 12,450,000.
Pugh-Jones waited for a confirmation of the amount and tanked for a minute before slamming in a chip to call. Garcia loudly clapped his hands together and shot out of his seat as he turned over Q♥5♠5♣3♠ for a set. Pugh-Jones sent A♠A♣J♦7♥ into the muck, and Garcia earned the massive double up.
