Charder Closes With a Heater

Level 16 : 2,000/4,000, 400 ante

We found Christian Harder all in for his last 33,000 with {a-Hearts}{3-Clubs}, having been called by two players with {a-}{k-}. There was a bit of a squabble over whether a side pot should be made, and the dealer eventually ran out a board of {q-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{j-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{2-Hearts}.

"Was there ever any doubt?" someone said of Harder finding a three to triple up.

Moments later, Ray Qartomy opened to 10,000 and was shoved on by Joe Cappello, who had about 45,000 on the button. Harder jammed in the big blind and Qartomy folded.

Harder: {q-Hearts}{q-Clubs}
Cappello: {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}

The race was on, and Cappello looked set to grab yet another double after {4-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{a-Clubs} hit. However, a {q-Spades} turn left him drawing dead, and he winged his cards muckward as the rest of the table prepared for the final hand before bagging.
