Harris Uses Aggression

Level 11 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

A player in middle position raised to 4,700, the button called, and John Harris squeezed to 12,000 from the small blind. The middle-position player called, and the button folded. Harris saw no reason to slow down on the {2-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{6-Spades} flop, continuation-betting 15,000. His opponent asked for a rough count, but folded shortly thereafter.
