Garcia Shoves the River

Chad Holloway

Level 5 : 100/200, 25 ante

We happened upon a big hand in progress over at Table 46 that saw Cord Garcia, who was recently featured in an edition of PokerNews' Circuit Grinder, chip up to nearly 60,000.

We caught the action action with around 18,000 in the pot and a board reading . Garcia was first to act and bet 7,000 from middle positon, the hijack called and the button opted to fold. At this point Bryan Campanello made his way over to sweat the action and informed us that he had just been eliminated. "I play so bad," he said with his eyes firmly fixed on the action.

When the completed the board on the river, Garcia waited a few beats before splashing in 27,000, which had the hijack's stack of 17,000 covered. The hijack thought for a solid two minutes before folding the face up. Garcia quickly slide his cards to the muck unseen and raked in the juicy pot.
