Cord Garcia
Cord Garcia

Blinds 2,000-4,000

Cord Garcia open-jammed for 79,100 effective, as that's what Nick Schulman in the big blind had left. Schulman called and the cards were turned over.

Nick Schulman: {9-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}
Cord Garcia: {a-Clubs}{6-Clubs}

The {a-Hearts} appeared right away in the window followed by the {q-Spades}{8-Hearts}, and Schulman already vaulted out of his chair. He would not find any help on the {3-Clubs} turn and {k-Diamonds} river, and Garcia advanced to the round of 16.

Soverel Wins Another from Dambrosio

Level 29 : 1,500/3,000, 0 ante

A completed board of {j-Spades}{8-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{3-Clubs} was spread across the felt with just under 30,000 in the middle. James Dambrosio led out for nearly a pot-sized bet of 27,000 and Sam Soverel raised to 70,000.

Dambrosio thought about it for a couple of minutes and then announced a call. Soverel turned over {9-Hearts}{8-Hearts} for a full house and Dambrosio flung his cards to the muck. "So fucking sick!" as he shook his head.
