Harnden Making Some Cagey Moves
![[user66118]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
Matthew O'Brien surprised the table by limping in from the cutoff seat first into the pot. "Is that legal," Brian Hastings asked from across the table. It was legal, but it would ultimately be unproductive. Rob Williamson three-bet to 74,000 on the button, and Jim Harnden made another raise to 177,000 from the small blind. O'Brien folded, and Williamson called to see a heads-up flop.
It came 
, and Harnden slowed down with a check. It was all part of his plan, though, apparently. When Williamson took his cue to bet 250,000, Harnden check-raised to 600,000 straight, and his opponent tanked and folded.
You might not guess it by your first impression of him, but the behatted Harnden knows his way around the felt. He's one of the senior members left now at the table, but he's so far having no trouble hanging with the youngsters in the remaining field.
