Level 21
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Gerard Mata raised to 20,000 from the cutoff and Thibaut Garcia defended in the big blind.
The 3♣4♦6♠ flop checked through to the 7♣ on the turn. Garcia took the lead for 12,000 and Mata made the call.
The 7♠ river paired the board and Garcia bet again, this time sizing up to 70,000. Mata spent a considerable amount of time in the tank before making the call. Garcia tabled K♦5♣ for a turned straight, winning him this pot.
