Garcia Dusted in Two Brutal Hands
Level 5
: 300/600, 600 ante
Gary Patanjo, a player Cord Garcia's former table told us the tale of two hands that sent Garcia's stack from six-figures to zero in a matter of minutes.
The first, and largest hand, saw Garcia get his stack in with a set of sixes against a player holding the nut flush draw. A spade on the turn and a brick river sent most of Garcia's stack out of his hands, leaving him with around 25,000.
A few hands later, those chips went in preflop with ace-king against the ace-queen of Patanjo. Garcia found himself unlucky again, as Patanjo binked a queen to send Garcia packing in the final level of Day 1b.
