| Thomas Gari (Hollywood, FL) took what he thought was a good line in his final hand of Flight 1C, but unfortunately ran into an opponent who was never going to fold his holdings. |
Thomas Gari (Hollywood, FL) is a long-time veteran of tournament poker, so he's pretty much found himself in most every position a player can. Late in yesterday's flight, Gari was heads up on the river against Dai Lam, with a board reading J♦ 7♦ 8♠ Q♥ 9♣. There was a pre-flop raise, and bet-call on the flop, with the action going check-check on the turn. The two players were holding similar sized stacks, so the outcome of said hand was going to pretty much determine the future for one of the two players. Lam ended up leading out for 11,000 on the river (which was a pot sized bet), and with just over 35,000 left, Gari announced himself all-in. Lam quickly made the call, and watched as Gari tabled A♦ 9♥, turning his rivered pair into a bluff. Unfortunately for Gari, Lam held 10♠ 5♠, having rivered the straight (which was the winning hand). The stacks were counted down, and that would be the end of the line for Thomas's Flight 1C efforts.
Gari is back in the field today, putting his failed bluff attempt behind, and looking to once again reach the later stages of the flight. Thomas headlines our second look at notables in today's field, joining the likes of:
