Garcia Bounces Back

Level 17 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

After losing a big chunk his stack to Jeff Kester, Cord Garcia faced a raise of 15,000 on the button. Garcia set out a stack of orange T5,000 chips for reraise to about 100,000.

"OK, I call," his opponent said after about 30 seconds.

The player turned over the {q-Spades}{q-Clubs}, and Garcia showed the {a-Spades}{10-Spades}. The drama was over pretty fast when an ace hit the {a-Clubs}{9-Spades}{8-Clubs} flop, and Garcia won the pot after the board ran out with two more eights — the {8-Hearts} and {8-Spades}.
