Alejandro Garcia Doubles Through Sala to Leave Him with Crumbs

Level 16 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

Halysson Sala raised to 15,000 from middle position and Alejandro Garcia, who was next to act, moved all-in for 85,000. Action folded back around to Sala and he quickly called, committing the majority of his stack to put Garcia at risk.

Sala: {10-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}
Garcia: {A-Spades}{10-Spades}

Sala had the preflop advantage and Garcia needed to catch up in order to preserve his tournament life. The board ran out {A-Clubs}{K-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} to pair Garcia's ace and give him the pot for the double-up. Sala, who started Day 2 play as the chip leader, was left with just 45,000 after the pot was pushed Garcia's way.
