Garner Wins a Pivotal Race
Level 29
: Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante
Paul Gibbons raised to 300,000 with 6♠6♥ from the middle position, and Juan Carlos Vecino called out of the hijack. Michael Garner deliberated for quite some time before jamming for 6,925,000 from the button. The blinds and Gibbons folded, but Vecino made the call.
Michael Garner: A♣K♠ 
Juan Carlos Vecino: J♦J♣
Garner had Big Slick against the two jacks of Vencino. Garner moved into pole position on the A♥7♣3♣ flop, having hit a pair of aces. The rest of the board came 10♠6♦, and Garner earned the full double-up at the expense of Vecino.
