Garcia Scores Double Knockout

Level 6: Blinds 500/1,000/1,000


Short-stacked Darrell Smith open-shoved for around 6,000 and was called by three other players.


The flop came out [8s5d4s] and Yogesh Satra in the small blind decided to go all in for 40,000. Christopher Frazier in the hijack made the fold and then action was on Raul Garcia on the button.


After some deliberation, he set his chips across the line and the cards were tabled, with Garcia covering.


Darrell Smith: [jd8d]

Yogesh Satra: [js10s]

Raul Garcia: [ad8c]


Garcia was in the lead with his pair of eights with an ace-kicker but still needed to dodge a jack,ten, or spade.


"Come on, hold one time!" he yelled and the board seemed to listen as it came [kcah] to improve him to two pair to scoop the pot, sending the other two to the rail. Satra then immediately re-entered and was placed in the exact same seat.


Darrell Smith: 0

Yogesh Satra: 40,000

Raul Garcia: 135,000
