Sick Cooler Costs Kerr

Level 10 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Hartwick Flops Huge, Busts Chien

Level 10 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

On the river of a {5-Clubs}{5-Spades}{a-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{j-Clubs} board, Gregory Hartiwck asked how much his heads-up opponent, Peter Chien, had remaining. Chien lifted his hand, revealing just over 16,000.

Hartwick fired out a bet of 20,000 and Chien went into the tank. After a moment, Chien slid his stack forward and Hartwick showed him the bad news, tabling {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds} for the second nuts. Chien mucked and departed from the tournament floor.
