Harder Shoves the River

Level 7 : 250/500, 75 ante

Christian Harder was in the big blind, battling against the small blind. Harder three-bet to 4,500 over a raise to 1,450, and his right-hand neighbor called.

They went to the {6-Spades}{9-Hearts}{J-Hearts} flop, where they both checked. Harder saved his continuation bet for the {K-Clubs} turn, betting 4,500 after his opponent had checked. He received a call. The {A-Hearts} completed the board, and the small blind checked yet again. Harder took all of his 15,750 remaining chips and moved them toward the middle.

The small blind weighed the pros and cons for more than a minute but eventually chose the passive move, letting Harder win without showdown.
