Garles Gets Value With Top Set

BrandonTemple

Level 7 : 400/800, 800 ante

Tim Garles was seen raking in a big pot just as the cards were being scooped into the muck, and Garles was kind enough to share details of the hand with us.

Garles opened to 1,300 from early position, and was called by a player in middle position, as well as the big blind.

The big blind checked an flop to Garles, who bet 1,000. Only the middle-position player called.

Garles bet 4,000 on the turn, and his opponent called again.

The hit the river, and Garles emptied the clip with a bet of 8,000. The middle-position player called, only to muck after Garles tabled .
