Markus Garberg Doubles Thru Lita Hsu, Takes Chip Lead as Day Nears an End

Jan 6, 2016

There is about 140,000 in the middle on a flop of Club JClub 8Club 7 and Markus Garberg checks from the cutoff. Lita Hsu bets 75,000 on the button and Garberg takes over a minute before moving all in.

The dealer pulls in the dead money and it is an additional 182,000 for Hsu to call. Hsu takes off his headphones and goes into the tank. He shuffles chips and squirms in his chair while contemplating his decision.

After several minutes, he calls and the cards are tabled. Garberg shows Club AClub K and has flopped the nut flush against Hsu’s Diamond 10Heart 10.

Hsu needs to find runners to win the massive pot, but the Heart 4 on the turn leaves him drawing dead to the Diamond 7 river.

Garberg stacks the pot to become the chip leader, while Hsu is left with just a few antes with just a few minutes left in the day’s action.

Markus Garberg – 710,000 (118 bb)
Lita Hsu – 3,000 (<1 bb)
