Harnden Steals the Lead From O'Brien

Matthew O'Brien has just made a big misstep that cost him about 40% of his chips.

Roman Valerstein opened the second pot in a row to 85,000, but as was the case the first time, he'd not get to see a flop. Jim Harnden made a three-bet to 180,000 next door, and the action stopped once again on Matthew O'Brien's button. He came in from the cold with a four-bet to 400,000 straight, and only Harnden called to see what the dealer had to offer on board.

The flop came out {6-Spades} {K-Hearts} {A-Hearts}, and Herndan led out into the pot as he's shown a propensity for doing. He made it 500,000, drawing a quick raise to 1.1 million from O'Brien. When Harnden shoved, though, O'Brien snap-mucked with a shake of his head.

Harnden spent a moment smirking and trying to decide whether or not to show. After some prodding from the other five at the table, he flashed his {A-Spades} {8-Hearts} and dragged in the biggest pot we've seen today. With it comes the chip lead as Harnden climbs all the way up to 4.275 million.
