Christian Harder Eliminated in 17th Place
Level 18
: 2,000/4,000, 500 ante
Christian Harder open-shoved from the button, and Jason Burt re-shoved from the small blind. Victor Ramdin was in the big blind, and he seemed to want to call very, very badly. He could not, though, folding with a look of agony on his face. With Harder at risk, the cards were on their backs:
Harder:
Burt:
The flop was a miss for Harder, and it would only get worse from there. The peeled off on fourth street, giving Burt the unbeatable full house and leaving Harder drawing dead. The river was meaningless, and Harder's knockout moves Burt up to 420,000.
"I look like a genius," Ramdin said. "I folded ace-king."
