Garcia Sends Ataie Packing
Level 8
: 400/800, 800 ante
Payam Ataie opened under the gun for 1,800, three players made the call but were faced with a three-bet from Jorge Garcia on the button to 8,500.
Ataie and a late position player made the call and saw a 
flop. Both players checked to Garcia who continued with a bet of 9,000.
Ataie made the call and the third player folded. They went heads up to the 
turn.
Again Ataie checked and facing a large bet of 26,500 he shoved his remaining stack (around 60,000) into the middle only to be snap-called by Garcia.
His 
was in bad shape against Gracia's 
. The river did not help and sent Ataie to the rail leaving Garcia with the table chip lead.
