Clash of the Titans

Cord Garcia raised to 50,000 from under the gun plus one and Matt Newcombe called from the small blind. The big blind folded and the two were heads up to see {A-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} fall. Newcombe checked and Garcia continued for 70,000.

Newcombe opted to move out a raise to 152,000 and Garcia tanked before folding {A-Diamonds}{K-Hearts} face up. Newcombe showed the table that Garcia made the correct lay down as his {A-Hearts}{10-Spades} flopped two pair.

Pinakin Patel Eliminared in 28th Place ($11,849)

David Sands raised to 40,000 in middle position and Pinakin Patel moved all in from the small blind for 163,000.

"123,000 to call? I have to," said Sands.

Sands tabled {Q-Clubs}{4-Clubs}, slightly trailing Patel's {K-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}.

The board, though, came down {A-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{J-Spades} to pair Sands' four to give him the pot.
