Garcia Wins Flip to Double Through Kessler
Level 5
: 100/200, 25 ante
Cord Garcia, who you may recall finished fifth in the WSOP Circuit Council Bluffs Main Event last month, got his last 5,300 all in preflop and was called by Allen Kessler.
Kessler:
Garcia:
It was a flip, but according to the PokerNews Odds Calculator, Kessler was a slight favorite with a 55.08% chance of winning the hand. The flop brought things a little closer as Kessler, who had flopped an open-ended straight flush draw, dropped to 50.71%. That's because Garcia picked up straight and flush draws to go with his overs.
The turn actually gave Garcia the flush and a 95.45% chance of survival. All he needed to do was dodge the and on the river, which is exactly what he did when the blanked.
