Garcia With the Bigger Pair
Level 20
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Jonas Lauck made it 50,000 from the hijack, and Murilo Garcia three-bet the button to 150,000. Lauck continued with a call.
Lauck checked on the 3♣8♣6♣ flop, and Garcia tossed out a bet of 90,000. Lauck made the call.
The A♠ on the turn got another check from Lauck, and another bet by Garcia, this time for 125,000. Once again, Lauck called.
The players checked the Q♥ river, and Lauck turned over a pair of nines with 9♣9♠. Garcia had that beat with J♦J♠ for a pair of jacks, and he was awarded the pot.
