The Tortoise and the Hari
Like in the fable, the hare starts fast but loses in the end. That's what happened at Krishna Hari's table.
According to all players, "there was a raise from a first player, a call by a second one, and a raise to 2,300 by a third one. The initial raiser called, the second player moved all in for 16,000, and the third player was the only one to call."
The at-risk player had KxQx suited against AxKx preflop, but didn't make it on the 7x6x2x10x4x board.
On the tortoise part, there is "Fear the turtle," a small red tortoise protecting Hari's cards. And like his lucky charm, he intends to be patient.
Still, he opened to 800 in early position and was called by a player in middle position and the big blind.
On 7♥8♠Q♦, Hari continued, betting 1,500, but this time, only the big blind called. Both players checked on the turn 10♥ and on the river 6♦, the big blind took the lead with a bet of 3,500. Hari showed 3♦3♠ and folded.
Patience.
