Altman Chipping Up; Hirschfeld's Shove Gets Through
Level 15
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Jack Hardcastle raised to 8,000 in middle position and was called by Brian Altman in the cutoff and Guillermo Sanchez in the big blind.
The flop came 2♥3♠K♦, Sanchez checked, Hardcastle bet 8,000, and Altman made it 23,000 to go. Both Sanchez and Hardcastle gave up their hands.
The following hand, Altman raised to 8,000 in the hijack and Tyler Hirschfeld three-bet shoved for close to 100,000 from the big blind, putting himself at risk.
Altman thought for a brief moment before tossing his cards into the muck.
