Garcia Doubles on First Hand
Former RGPS Main Event Champion Jose Garcia wasted little time getting to work here at the RGPS Passport PokerNews PowerStack at Palace Poker.
The player under-the-gun and the next seat over both limped before Garcia chose to raise to 1,500 from early position. The hijack and both limpers called.
It checked to Garcia on the J♣3♥A♥ flop, and he bet 2,200. The hijack raised to 4,400 before the under-the-gun player re-raised to 15,000.
Garcia shoved for 28,500 in response. The hijack folded and the under-the-gun player made the call to put Garcia at risk.
Jose Garcia: J♥9♥
Opponent: A♣3♠
Garcia was behind, but he had outs to a flush and trips.
The K♦ turn changed nothing, but the 7♥ river gave Garcia a flush and awarded him the double up on the first hand after sitting down.
