Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Owen Savir raised to 2,500 from late position only to face a three-bet to 7,000 from Steven Gargiulo in the big blind. Savir then four-bet to 21,000, and Gargiulo called.

The flop came 2♣3♥8♠ and both players checked to see the 10♣ turn. Gargiulo bet out for 21,000, and Savir called. Gargiulo checked the 8♥ river, and now Savir tossed out a 30,000 bet.

Gargiulo went deep into the tank for 3-4 minutes, finally called and tabled J♦J♣, which crushed Savir's A♠K♣, who was left with a bowl of rice to play with and just over three big blinds.
