With around 1.2 million already in the pot and a board reading  8d jc 6s 6d, Jake Balisger checked from the small blind and Sam Garcia moved all in from the hijack. Balsiger called off for around 2.8 million and the hands were turned up.

Garcia:  ac jh
Balsiger:  kc kh

The  9c river was no help to Garcia and he was left with 300,000 after the hand.

Not long after, Balsiger raised to 200,000 from early position and Garcia moved in for 210,000 from the small blind. Wen Zhang called from the big, Balsiger called the additional 10,000, and the flop came down  5h jh 7h. Zhang checked and then folded when Balsiger bet 300,000.

Balsiger:  kh kc
Garcia:  qd 8h

The  2s left Garcia drawing dead and he was officially eliminated after the meaningless  5c was run out on the river.
