Hafner Hero Calls the River

Ollie Garland

Level 1 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

The pot had already swelled to approximately 23,000 with two players looking at a full board of K♣4♥7♠Q♠3♥.

Lukas Hafner, in the hijack, checked the action to Demin Shen, on the button. Shen moved all in, putting Hafner to the test for his effective stack of 22,800.

Pained by his decision, Hafner tanked for some time before finally flicking in the call. Shen tabled 9♣7♣ for a pair of sevens, while Hafner raked in this pot with K♠J♦.

A neutral player at the table announced that he thought Shen had a set.
