Harrington Crowns Sargent

Chad Holloway

Barbara Sargent opened for 1,400 from middle position and Brent Harrington responded with a three-bet to 2,800 from the button. Both blinds folded, Sargent jammed for 15,000 more, and Harrington called.

Barbara Sargent:
Brent Harrington:

Sargent's best chance of staying alive was to catch an ace, but there wasn't one on the flop. The turn gave her a bunch of diamond flush outs, but the river was not one of them. With that, Harrington sent Sargent to the rail.

The Ladies Love Harrington

Chad Holloway

A player opened for 800 from early position and Walter Brandhorst Jr called from middle position. Poker reporter Brent Harrington, who on Monday captured his second Signature Ring with a victory in the $135 8-Game Mixer, then three-bet to 3,000 from the hijack.

Action folded back to the original raiser and he pushed back to the tune of 8,500. Brandhorst Jr got out of the way and Harrington paused for a few beats before moving all in for 17,400. His opponent called off for a little less and it was off to the races.

Brent Harrington:
Opponent:

The flop was interested as it gave Harrington a set but his opponent also picked up a Royal Flush draw. The turn improved Harrington to a full boat but he wasn't out of the woods with a card still to come. The dealer burned one last time and put out the , a safe card for Harrington to give him the juicy pot.
