Garcia Saved on the River
Level 16
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Julio Garcia moved all in for 88,000 in middle position and was called by Martin Finger in the small blind who had the covering stack.
Julio Garcia: K♦Q♥ 
Martin Finger: 9♦9♠
The flop came 2♣10♠5♠ with Finger's pair of nines still in the lead. The turn landed the 8♥ and Garcia needed a king or a queen on the river to survive.
The river fell the K♠, keeping Garcia's tournament hopes alive. Three other players doubled up at other tables, extending the stone bubble to another hand.
