Garvie Gets Aces... and Busts

Shaun Garvie on Day 1c
Shaun Garvie on Day 1c
Shaun Garvie came in raising to 3,000 from under the gun, and action folded all the way around to Thamir Akrawi in the big blind. He reraised all in, enough to cover Garvie. Shaun had about 23,000 chips left and put them all into the middle, flipping over {A-Clubs} {A-Spades} . Akrawi was in bad shape with his {K-Diamonds} {K-Hearts}.

Things turned sour quickly for Garvie, though. The board came down {6-Clubs} {8-Clubs} {K-Spades} {3-Hearts} {Q-Spades}. That third king right on the flop spelled disaster for him, and he makes a disappointed trip towards the exit.
