Garcia Gets Punished for Making the Right Call
Level 8
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
With 20,000 chips already in the middle of the table on a board of 3♦7♣9♣A♠, Fabien Garcia had bet 6,000 and Sondre Stormyr shoved. Garcia had around 11,000 behind which he put into the middle after a lot of time thinking.
Fabien Garcia: J♠9♠ 
Sondre Stormyr: 8♠8♦
Garcia had made the right call and just needed to fade one of the last two eights in the deck in order to double up. Unfortunately for the French player, a nasty 8♥ hit the river which eliminated him from the tournament as Stormyr improved to a set.
