Cord Garcia (4♠4♦) bets $3 mil Bradley McFarland (A♦ 8♥) calls. Q♦4♦2♥2♣7♦ (Cord’s equity is slightly (10% to 14% favorite) better than Bradley’s barring help from the board)
Cord triple-barrels hitting middle set (444) for $4.1 mil, on the 2 for $8.4 mil (which gives Cord fours over twos), and on the 7 for $17.5 mil. Bradley inexplicably (in a very bad bluff) comes over the top quickly moving all-in.
Cord (25, Houston) finishes 1rst for $638,880 while Bradley (25, PA) is 2nd for $386,253

The two had played small-ball for nearly 1/2 an hour prior to this hand.
Both entrants overcome a field of 22,374 players to make final-table (of 9 players).

From that giant sea of hopefuls only one can emerge with the bracelet and the $638,880 first-place prize, and that player is Cord Garcia. For the win the 25-year-old poker pro from Houston, TX earned $638,880 and his 1rst WSOP gold bracelet. His most notable win prior to this came in a $365 buy-in WSOP Circuit Bossier City event, earning him a circuit ring. “It feels like it is my breakthrough,” said Garcia after the win. “But at the same time, I feel like I am capable of doing bigger things.” Garcia came into the final table as one of the shortest stacks, joined by fellow Texan Ray Henson, who won the largest ever WSOP Circuit event earlier this year. …
