Garcia Drills a Set to Double Through Lopez
Niveau 7
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Francisco Martin Romo opened from middle position and was called by Eduard Garcia in the small blind. Carlos Lopez then shoved for a bit under 30,000 from the big blind, which got a fold from Martin Romo and a call from Garcia for his last 22,100 total.
Eduard Garcia: 8♣8♦
Carlos Lopez: 9♣9♦
Lopez held the lead with his higher pair, but the 8♥5♦3♠ flop vaulted Garcia into the lead with a set of eights.
The 6♠Q♣ runout changed nothing and Garcia doubled through Lopez, who was left with just over 5,000 following the clash.
