Level 16
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Richard Peloquin opened to 22,000 from the cutoff before Joselito Garcia went all-in for 38,000 on the button. Peloquin called to put Garcia at risk.
Joselito Garcia: K♠9♠
Richard Peloquin: 5♣4♣
Garcia had a commanding lead on the flop when it fanned out 2♠9♣7♠ to give Garcia top pair and a flush draw to boot.
Peloquin gained a toehold when the 3♥ peeled, as he gained an open-ended straight draw.
Astonishingly, it was Peloquin who got there after falling so far behind on the flop when the A♥ came down to give Peloquin a wheel to score the knockout.
