A Little Too Much Action for Dan

[user66118]

Action Dan

Steve Pestal was all in before the flop for 83,000, putting his tournament life in the hands of Dan Harrington who had him well covered. Pestal tabled {K-Spades}

{K-Spades}

{Q-Diamonds}

, and Action Dan was poised for the knockout with {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{K-Clubs}

. The board would run down {3-Diamonds}

{3-Diamonds}

{8-Clubs}

{6-Diamonds}

{6-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

, locking up the pot and sending Pestal to the rail.

Harrington is up to 410,000 now, and it's worth noting that he's playing in a neck brace today. When asked about it, Harrington said the strain was caused by a combination of playing poker and working on the computer. The good news is Dan is still his same jolly self, if just a bit slower when turning from one side of the table to the other to crack a joke.
