Chad Batista Eliminated by Tony Gargano

Apr 5, 2009

Tony Gargano raises from early position to 8,000, and Chad Batista calls from the big blind. The flop comes [Jc10c3d], Batista checks, Gargano bets 14,000, and Batista calls. The turn card is the [Ad], Batista checks, Gargano bets 26,000, and Batista moves all in for 92,000. 

Gargano thinks for a while before he calls with [Jh10h] (two pair), and Batista shows [Qd10d] (pair of tens, gutshot straight draw, diamond flush draw). 

But the river card is a blank, and Batista misses his 15 outs. Gargano wins the pot with two pair, and Chad Batista is eliminated from the tournament in 51st place. (The top 30 will finish in the money.)

Tony Gargano  –  270,000
Chad Batista  –  Eliminated
