Myro Garcia
Myro Garcia

Kyle Julius raised to 6,500 from the under-the-gun plus one position and Max Altergott three-bet to 15,500 from the hijack. Myro Garcia, on the button, four-bet to 39,000 and Team PokerStars Pro Vanessa Selbst went into the tank for quite a while from the big blind.

Eventually Selbst folded and Julius did so as well. Altergott moved all in for about 110,000 and Garcia snap-called.

Altergott: {K-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}
Garcia: {A-Diamonds}{A-Hearts}

The board ran out {A-Spades}{10-Spades}{8-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{J-Clubs} and Altergott, formerly winner of the €100,000 Super High Roller in Monte Carlo, was knocked out.
