Day 1 Chip Leader Doubles

Garcia Grabs a Double Up
Garcia Grabs a Double Up

Juan Garcia, who started play today as the chip leader, has been fairly quiet the past few levels. We caught up to see him make a raise preflop to 4,600 only to find his opponent three-bet to 11,400. Garcia responded by four-bet shoving and his opponent made the call.

Garcia: {4-Spades}{4-Diamonds}
Opponent: {J-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}

Garcia was in need of help and found a few more outs after the flop came {A-Spades}{2-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}. Garcia's prayers were answered when the {5-Spades} came on the river, giving him the wheel. The {K-Clubs} rolled off on fifth street and Garcia was able to double up.
