Level 4 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Action was three-ways to a flop of {a-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} and action checked to the button who bet 5,500. Cord Garcia called in the big blind before under the gun raised to 15,500. The button folded before Garcia slammed 80,000 in the middle putting his opponent all in.

His opponent made the call. The WSOP bracelet winner shouted out "Eight-High" as he tabled his hand.

Under the gun: {a-Spades}{7-Spades}
Cord Garcia: {8-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}

Garcia only had a flush draw while his opponent had top pair. The turn came the {10-Diamonds} which left his opponent drawing dead as Garcia had hit his flush. The {10-Clubs} river was irrelevant.
