Harder Calls Off His Main Event

Jeff McMillan

Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Action was on the river with Christian Harder in the midst of a bigtime decision. The pot had 95,000 in it and the board read 6♥J♣9♥3♥7♥. Chad Lousberg bet 70,000 which had Harder covered who was deep in the tank.

The clock was called, which Harder disagreed with, saying he had only had a minute. The dealer waited a while to call the floor as he continued to tank. Eventually the floor did come over to count it down and in the final seconds of the count down, Harder called.

Lousberg tabled the K♥Q♠ for the flush. Harder got up in anger and left the room swiftly as the dealer turned over the hand he had called with, A♦A♣.

Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Cody Daniels raised to 2,500 on the button and was called by Abdullah Al-Shanti in the small blind and another opponent in the big blind.

"Taking on the maniac in seat #5," Daniels said as the flop came 2♣10♠4♦. Al-Shanti then bet 2,200, the big blind folded, while Daniels called.

Al-Shanti led out for another 2,200 on the 9♦ turn and Daniels raised to 5,000. Al-Shanti called and the K♣ fell on the river.

Daniels then bet 12,000 and Al-Shanti folded this time. "Pick two," Daniels told him, allowing Al-Shanti to reveal his hand. Al-Shanti turned over two kings as Daniels had hit a set on the river.

Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Kojiro Doi raised to 2,600 and then called the shove of a short-stacked David Hales.

Hales was at risk with the A♦K♦ and up against Doi's K♠K♣.

The 6♠5♦4♦ flop was a tease with the additional flush draw but Hales asked for a seven once the 8♠ came on the turn. Sure enough, the 7♥ fell on the river and they chopped it up.

Big stack at the table is Kitty Kuo.

Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Christopher Kline raised to 3,000 from middle position, and after it folded to Thomas Kornecook, he defended the big blind and made the call.

The flop came 8♣6♣4♦ and Kornecook check-called a bet of 4,000 from Kline.

After the A♠ on the turn, Kornecook again check-called a bet of 8,000 from Kline.

When the 9♥ hit the river, Kornecook then led out for a bet of 30,000. Kline quickly folded and gave the pot to Korecook.

Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Kenny Nguyen opened to 2,700 from middle position and was called by Scotty Nguyen in the cutoff and Michael White in the big blind.

White checked to Nguyen on the 4♣10♣4♥ flop and he continued for 3,300. Scotty Nguyen folded, but White called.

The 5♥ fell on the turn and White check-called an 8,500 bet from Nguyen before both players checked on the 5♠ river.

White tabled J♠10♠ for tens and fives and Nguyen folded what he claimed to be a pocket pair to send the pot White's direction.

Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

With the board showing 9♣5♦2♥6♥3♣, Jonathan Ronquillo was all-in for 75,000 with a pot of around 135,000 evolved by then.

His opponent Kunal Punjwani was deep in the tank and the clock was called on him. Once the thirty second countdown started, Punjwani made the call and was shown the bad news. Ronquillo on the button had 8♦7♥ for the nuts and Punjwani briefly exposed 4♣4♦ for an inferior straight.
