Lokesh Garg Scoops a Big One

Level 2 : 75/150, 0 ante

With about 2,750 in the pot already, on a board reading {10-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{7-Spades}, Tito Ortiz led out for 500 from the small blind.

Lokesh Garg was under the gun and called, as did Kenny Hallaert from the cutoff.

The turn was the {5-Diamonds}. Ortiz and Garg both checked to Hallaert who bet 2,000. Ortiz called, and Garg thought about it for a moment before calling also.

The river was the {j-Spades}. Ortiz wasted no time and reached into his stack, firing out a bet of 5,000. Garg quickly called and Hallaert got out of the way.

Ortiz held his cards up in front of him, reluctant to table them, while Garg immediately showed {a-Clubs}{j-Diamonds} for a pair of jacks. Ortiz saw what he was up against and opted to muck his hand, sending a mountain of chips Garg's way.
