Garcia All In and Trailing

With the action folded around to the button, Javier Garcia open-shoved all in for 92,000. Ricardo Sousa was in the small blind, and he announced an all in of his own, coming over the top and isolating himself against the at-risk Garcia.

Showdown
Garcia: {A-Spades} {8-Clubs}
Sousa: {A-Diamonds} {Q-Diamonds}

The news was not good for Garcia, likely needing to find his three-outer to stay alive. Much to his delight, and the delight of his fans along the rail, the dealer ran out a flop of {7-Spades} {8-Spades} {6-Hearts} to pull him into the lead with a pair of eights. The turn {10-Spades} kept him in front, and the {5-Clubs} that rivered secured his double up to about 190,000.

Things are not going well for Sousa. He's doubled up two opponents already today, and he's seen his stack slide all the way back to about 120,000 as the first break approaches.
