Fetzer Goes Runner-Runner to Cripple Harada
With around 15,000 in the pot and a flop of , Konstantin Fetzer bet 5,500 from the small blind and Hiroaki Harada, who has made the final table of a couple Aussie Millions preliminary events last week, raised to 15,000 from the hijack. Fetzer popped it back to 25,000, Harada shoved all in, and Fetzer, who would later clarify that he had actually miscalculated his opponent's stack, opted to call off for right around 50,000.

Fetzer had flopped top pair, but it was way behind the top set of Harada. Fetzer needed to catch running straight cards, and much to the dismay of Harada, the turn made it a possibility. Unbelievably, the spiked on the river to give Fetzer the improbably straight, and to crush Harada's spirits.
As Harada paced the tournament floor bemoaning his bad luck, the dealer verified the stacks and discovered Fetzer was the one at risk and Harada actually had 6,000 remaining. It was little consolation as Harada was eliminated a few hands later.
