LaGarde Loses A Big One

Matt LaGarde
Matt LaGarde

On a flop of {a-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} Matt LaGarde pushed all in and got a call from a player at his table with 86,000 behind. \

LaGarde showed {a-Clubs}{k-Diamonds} and his opponent had {a-Spades}{j-Diamonds} If LaGarde had won the pot it would've put him over the 400,000 chip mark and make him a massive chip leader. Unfortunately for him however, the {j-Hearts} came on the turn and the {8-Hearts} river was no help.

LaGarde still has quite a few chips with 210,000, but I'm sure he's thinking about what could've been had he held in that enormous pot.

Player Chips Progress
210,000 -60,000
