Gilberto Garcia Taveras

Action was picked up on a board of 59K7Q when Gilberto Garcia Taveras bet out for 600,000 into a pot of about 1,200,000. Elias Garney was in position and took his time before announcing he was all in.

A crowd formed as Garcia Taveras went into the tank to go over his options for over three minutes. Eventually he stood up, put on his backpack, and stuck the chips in. The cooler was real. Garney quickly table QQ for a rivered set and Garcia Taveras tabled 55 for a flopped set.

He hits the rail in 10th place on the final table bubble after a monster cooler.
