Harmetz Bad Beat Costs Chip Lead

[user67765]

Dan Harmetz opened with a raise to 3,500 from the button before 'Bo' Plyler in the big blind made a massive overbet raise for all of his 56,000 chips.

Harmetz snap-called with {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{A-Hearts}

to be well in front of the {8-Spades}

{8-Spades}

{8-Diamonds}

of Plyler.

The flop was a safe {Q-Spades}

{Q-Spades}

{K-Clubs}

{7-Diamonds}

but a cruel {8-Clubs}

{8-Clubs}

gave Plyler a two-outer set to the disbelief of Harmetz.

The {6-Clubs}

{6-Clubs}

on the river gave Plyler a huge double up and the tournament chip lead with about 120,000 while Harmetz was shell-shocked and left with just 2,000 in change.
