Tim Garles on the Come Up

The player in the lojack opened for 3,000 only to have Tim Garles three-bet to 10,000 from the hijack. Action folded back to the initial raiser, who thought for a bit before making the call.

When the flop fell {7-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}, the lojack checked and Garles piled for approximately 40,000.

That did the trick as the player in the lojack folded.

It wasn't a huge hand, but it gave us a good excuse to update you on the stack of Garles.

After the under-the-gun player opened with a raise and the player in the hijack three-bet jammed for 31,200, action folded around to Jesse Malcomb, who looked down at his hand in the big blind and called off for around 12,000. The original raiser got out of the way and Malcomb showed that he woke up with the granddaddy of all hands at just the right time.

Jesse Malcomb: {a-Hearts}{a-Spades}
Opponent: {10-Diamonds}{10-Spades}

Malcomb was well out in front and stayed there as the board ran out {j-Clubs}{5-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}.
