Whitehead Finds Ambitious Shove
Level 21
: Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
Day 1d chipleader Gary Whitehead had raised preflop from early position and Fabian Ghidarcea called in middle position. The flop then fell 4?9?J? and Whitehead continued for 37,000.
Ghidarcea raised to 90,000 and Ghidarcea three-bet jammed, covering his opponent's stack of 254,000.
Ghidarcea snap called and the cards went on their backs.
Fabian Ghidarcea: A?J? 
Gary Whitehead: A?8?
Whitehead was drawing very thin, but the 8? turn gave him some semblance of hope. The 10? river secured the pot for Ghidarcea's top pair, however, as he doubled up to an above-average stack.
