Action Dan Chipping Up

Dan Harrington is off to a great start this afternoon, having already built his chip stack up to 24,000.

In a recent hand, Harrington called an opponent's (cutoff) preflop raise from the button. The small blind made the call as well and the three players saw a flop of {4-Diamonds} {5-Spades} {8-Diamonds}.

Action was then checked around to Harrington, who led out with a 900 bet. He was called by the small blind and the original raiser folded.

The turn brought the {10-Diamonds} and 'Action Dan' became 'Acting Dan' as he tanked over the 2,200 bet that his opponent led out with, while sitting with the mortal nuts: {A-Diamonds} {J-Diamonds}. After resting his left hand on his temple and letting out a sigh, Harrington just called.

The {3-Diamonds} fell on 5th street and the small blind passed the action to Harrington who bet 5,000. His opponent made the call and Dan tabled the goods, prompting his opponent to ship his cards into the muck.
