Almario Doubles Through Garcia

Ernie Almario limped from early position and it folded around to James Anderson who raised to 15,000 from the button. Cord Garcia moved a large stack of orange t5,000 chips out from the small blind, three-betting to about 105,000.

Almario replied by four-betting all in for 196,000 and Anderson quickly threw his cards away. Garcia shrugged and announced a call and the hands were turned over

Almario: {A-Diamonds}{A-Hearts}
Garcia: {10-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}

Almario essentially clinched the hand when he flopped a set on the {A-Spades}{5-Hearts}{4-Spades} flop. The {9-Hearts} turned and the {10-Clubs} rivered, also giving Garcia a set but unfortunately it was too little too late. This was about a 200,000 chip swing that puts Almario around 400,000.
