Garzon Finishes Off Defending Champion Bronshtein
Level 17
: 5,000/10,000, 0 ante
Yuval Bronshtein, the 2021 $1,500 Limit Hold'em champion, was all-in for his last 5,000 in the hijack before Francisco Garzon raised on the button and Jon Kyte called in the big blind.
The dealer fanned a flop of 
and Kyte check-folded to Garzon's continuation bet.
Yuval Bronshtein: 
Francisco Garzon: 
Bronshtein was behind with his ace-high but had two overcards to Garzon's pocket pair. "Club on the turn?" asked Bronshtein politely.
The 
turn didn't give him any extra equity and he couldn't connect as the 
rolled off on the river, eliminating his chances of back-to-back victories.
