Level 19 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

Jonathan D'Souza Showed Down the Goods Here at the Secondary Stage

Like all of the Brazillians who make deep runs here at the World Series of Poker, Myro Garcia has brought a whole host of friends and family along with him to show their support.

Garcia just gave his rail quite the show, although the hand did not go as well as he would have hoped.

The action was caught on the turn, with the board reading . Garcia fired a bet of 24,000 forward, and he called when Jonathan D'Souza popped it to 54,000. When the completed the board on the river, D'Souza led into Garcia with an all-in shove for 203,000.

That's when Garcia took full advantage of his prime spot along the secondary stage's elevated stands. With his supporters crowding around anxiously to watch him make this crucial decision, Garcia went for a deep dive into the tank, thinking things over for more than three minutes while the audience stirred in anticipation.

Eventually, Garcia released his hand with reluctance written across his face, and he looked towards D'Souza for any sign that he had been bluffed.

"Show one show all, right?" boomed D'Souza, as he held his hand up for the rail to see. "Are you happy now?"

When D'Souza's finally dropped to the felt, a smile cracked Garcia's pained visage, as he realized that his opponent was holding the goods all along.

One such hand saw him get his chips into the middle with on an board against the of Jamie Rosen, only for the river to come to improve Rosen to a bigger full house.

Later in the day, Pham would again fall victim to Rosen and again it would be ace-jack that was the hand in question. Rosen five-bet shoved with and Pham snap-called with a pair of aces and looked set to exact revenge on Rosen for their earlier confrontation. That was until Rosen flopped two jacks to crack Pham’s aces! Rosen would ultimately finish in 15th place, while Pham, as we know, ended as the overnight chip leader.

Pham already has one final table appearance at this year’s World Series of Poker, a fourth place finish in the $3,000 No Limit Hold’em Six-Handed event, and is looking to make it final table number two in this short-handed event. With over $8,750,000 in live tournament winnings, Pham is one of the most experienced tournament players in the world and only one player in the final eight of this competition, John Juanda, surpasses his winnings.

Juanda will start the day fifth in chips with a stack of 466,000. The five-time WSOP bracelet winner has more than $15,000,000 in live tournament winnings and is looking to add an additional $309,071 to his already impressive total. Only seven men stand between Juanda and bracelet number six.
