Hartman Doesn't Pull the Trigger
Level 19
: Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Pascal Hartman had opened from under the gun with K♥8♥ and Nenad Dukic defended from the big blind with A♦9♦.
The two saw a flop of 2♦7♠6♠ where Dukic check-called a bet of 180,000 from Hartman to see an A♣ fall on the turn. Again Dukic checked, and again Hartman fired, this time for 680,000. Dukic called.
A 5♥ completed the runout and with his pair of aces, Dukic checked it over. Hartman pondered for some time, perhaps debating whether to bluff, but decided against it and knuckled back, allowing Dukic to take the pot.
