A Little Too Much Action for Dan

Action Dan

Steve Pestal was all in before the flop for 83,000, putting his tournament life in the hands of Dan Harrington who had him well covered. Pestal tabled {K-Spades} {Q-Diamonds}, and Action Dan was poised for the knockout with {A-Diamonds} {K-Clubs}. The board would run down {3-Diamonds} {8-Clubs} {6-Diamonds} {6-Clubs} {A-Clubs}, locking up the pot and sending Pestal to the rail.

Harrington is up to 410,000 now, and it's worth noting that he's playing in a neck brace today. When asked about it, Harrington said the strain was caused by a combination of playing poker and working on the computer. The good news is Dan is still his same jolly self, if just a bit slower when turning from one side of the table to the other to crack a joke.
