Garbus Jams River on the Bubble

Action folded to Devon Garbus in middle position who opened to 25,000. The action folded all the way around to the big blind who defended. The players were off to a flop heads up.

The A♣K♥5♣ flop landed and the big blind checked. Garbus gathered a bet of 35,000 and put it in the middle. The big blind came along with a call.

The 2♥ turn hit the felt and the big blind checked again. Garbus sized up this time and put out a wager of 55,000. The big blind called again.

The river was the J♠ and the big blind checked once more. Garbus did some accounting and saw that the big blind had him covered. He took his time before announcing 'all in' and sending in his remaining chips.

The big blind did not snap call but after a moment of thinking they called off and the cards hit their back.

Garbus tabled A♦5♦ for a flopped two pair and the big blind tabled A♠8♥ for a flopped top pair. Garbus dragged the pot and survived the bubble.
