Pederson Checks Down to a Win Against Garcia as End of Day Approaches
Level 25
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 0 ante
Israel Garcia limped in the cut off and Arne Pederson checked his option in the big blind to see a flop of 5♣8♦K♠. Both players checked through to a J♦ on the turn.
Action checked through again and the dealer put the K♣ out on the river.
Both players checked once more and Pederson turned over the 9♣9♦7♠3♣ which was good enough to take the pot down as Garcia tossed his cards into the muck on one of the last couple of hands to take place on Day 2.
