Garcia Spikes a Club on River to Double Through Bjerno
A big pot just took place over at Table 39 that saw chip leader Nathan Bjerno take a hit.
It began when action folded around to Cord Garcia on the button and he opened for 6,000. Bjerno was seated to Cord's direct left and three-bet to 11,500 from the small blind, prompting the big to get out of the way. Garcia made the call and then moved all in for 85,400 more after Bjerno had bet 18,000 on the 
flop. Bjerno asked for an exact count and then made the call.
Bjerno: 
Garcia: 
Bjerno was ahead with his pair of eights, but Garcia held two overs, a flush draw, and a gutshot straight draw. The 
turn was a safe card for Bjerno, but the 
river was not. Garcia spiked a club to stay alive while a disappointed looking Bjerno simply said, "Nice hand."
On the other side of the room, Mike Holm was eliminated from the tournament.
