Harnden Hears a Who

We're telling you, this Jim Harnden character knows what he's doing.

In the last pot, Jamil Wakil raised to 65,000 under the gun, and Drazen Ilich three-bet to 125,000 a few seats over. Action came all the way around to the big blind where Harnden wanted to play for more. His four-bet to 325,000 was enough to shake Wakil out of the way, but Ilich came along with the call to see what was what.

The flop brought {10-Clubs} {Q-Hearts} {2-Diamonds} and a 500,000-chip continuation bet from Harnden. Ilich took pause to make sure as he shuffled the calling chips in his hand for a couple minutes. He tossed them into the pot eventually, and the {8-Hearts} hit fourth street. When it did, Harnden very quickly announced, "All in." The two men were close in chips to start the hand, but it looks like Ilich was just covered and faced with a decision for his tournament life.

There wasn't much to think about, apparently. With a big sigh of frustration and a shake of the head, Ilich slapped his cards into the muck, and he's been set back under the 2-million-chip mark now. Harnden is on the move, charging forward to about 3.225 million with that big pot.
