Durden Calls, Leaves Hampton Short
Level 1
: 100/100, 0 ante
With over 20,000 in the pot and 
on the board, Regina Hampton shoved her last 10,900 into the middle from early position. The river bet sent Cody Durden deep into the tank.
Durden looked to painfully work through his options before he reluctantly tossed in a chip to call and turned over 
. Hampton shook her head and mucked the losing hand.
"I almost got you to fold," Hampton said a few moments later.
"Believe me, you did," Durden replied.
