Gardenhire Takes a Hit

Level 2 : 75/150, 0 ante

We arrived in time to see Justin Gardenhire and two other players looking down at a flop of {5-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}. Gardenhire was first to act and led at the pot for 1,250. His first opponent called and the next folded, leaving two players heads up to fourth street.

The dealer produced the {Q-Hearts} on the turn and Gardenhire continued his aggression with a bet of 2,800. His opponent stayed the course, allowing the duo to see the {7-Hearts} grace the felt on the river. Gardenhire fired 3,000 only to have his opponent instantly come over the top for 15,000 total. Gardenhire flashed a smile while he sat riffling his chips.

"Do you have the ten of hearts in your hand?" Gardenhire asked his opponent. He received no reply.

After about 30 seconds, Gardenhire kicked his cards into the muck and the pot was pushed to the other end of the table. With this hit, Gardenhire's stack is down to roughly 13,000 in chips.
