Christian's Prayers Answered
Following a raise under the gun, Christian Harder called, only to set off a domino effect behind him which saw three other players join the pot. On the 

flop, the original raiser checked Harder bet 700, the next player moved in for a total of 775, and the other three players folded.
Unsurprisingly, Harder made the call with 


for the flopped straight and full house draw, praying that his opponent didn't have two diamonds. Ultimately, his prayers were answered, his foe revealing a dominated 


for three pair (surely three pair should be worth more in poker!), which failed to find any miracle on a subsequent
turn and
river.
As a result, Harder now has 8,500.
