Hartigan Back at it Again
Level 9
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Hamid Izadi got the action started with an open to 3,000 from early position. The hijack opted to put more chips in the pot when he three-bet to 8,500 in response. James Hartigan surveyed the situation from the big blind before he announced all-in for 39,500. Izadi got out of the way with a fold, but the hijack made the call and put Hartigan at risk.
James Hartigan: Q♦Q♠
Opponent: A♥Q♣
Hartigan was in a dominant position to double, but he had to fade the pesky ace.
The flop was safe for Hartigan when it came 2♥8♣6♦, keeping his pocket queens well in front.
The turn killed any sweat that may have been left when the Q♥ came to give Hartigan top set and seal the deal in his favor.
The 5♠ completed the board as Hartigan scored the double up.
