Harrington, Plus Two Aces

We mentioned before how Dan Harrington is here. The 1995 WSOP Main Event champion is seated over at one of the three tables still set up from Event 55: $1,000,000 Big One for One Drop. At the other two tables in that section sit a couple of other aces — 2001 ME champ Carlos Mortensen and 2008 winner Peter Eastgate.

Just now the Poker Hall of Famer Harrington was recognized for his achievements with an announcement over the public address. His table had folded around to him at the very moment of the announcement, and as he stood to wave in acknowledgement of the applause, he fired a raise to which everyone folded.

Harrington then showed his hand… {A-}{A-}!
