Harder Soars Up The Leaderboard
Level 17
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Pot-Limit Omaha
In a heads-up pot with close to 50,000 in the middle on a flop of Q♥8♠8♥, Christian Harder checked from under the gun to a player in the hijack who continued for 20,000. Harder made the call and the pair saw the 10♥ turn.
Harder elected to lead out for 24,000 and the hijack quickly tossed in chips for the call. The 3♠ completed the board and Harder announced all in, well covering the 79,000 remaining for his opponent, who went deep in the tank.
After close to two minutes of thought, the hijack made the call and the cards were shown. Harder tabled A♥9♥7♣3♣ for the nut flush and the hijack revealed K♠Q♦J♦9♣ for a straight, as he made his way to the exit.
