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 {9-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} 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 {8-Spades}{J-Clubs}{10-Spades}{10-Hearts} 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 {3-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{10-Clubs} for three pair (surely three pair should be worth more in poker!), which failed to find any miracle on a subsequent {J-Diamonds} turn and {A-Diamonds} river.

As a result, Harder now has 8,500.
