Garzavillareal Sends Opponent Packing

Level 12 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Hermilo Garzavillareal raised 6,000 at the cutoff position, and then the player on the button three-bet all in.

After the players in the blinds folded, Garzavillareal asked for a count and the dealer confirmed his opponent had 67,000.

Garzavillareal, who covered his opponent, then made the call.

Opponent: AJ All in
Hermilo Garzavillareal: AQ

The dealer fanned 45Q on the flop, giving Garzavillareal top pair with top kicker. The K appeared on the turn, giving Garzavillareal’s opponent a gut-shot straight draw.

The 7 on the river gave Garzavillareal the win and a knockout.

The flop came 5A2 to send Chen ahead. The turn was the 6 and the river the 5 to bust the at risk player and give Chen another boost to his catapulting stack.

"Running hot!" said tablemate Chris Hunichen as Chen raked in the chips.
