Harder Calls Off His Main Event

Jeff McMillan

Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Action was on the river with Christian Harder in the midst of a bigtime decision. The pot had 95,000 in it and the board read 6♥J♣9♥3♥7♥. Chad Lousberg bet 70,000 which had Harder covered who was deep in the tank.

The clock was called, which Harder disagreed with, saying he had only had a minute. The dealer waited a while to call the floor as he continued to tank. Eventually the floor did come over to count it down and in the final seconds of the count down, Harder called.

Lousberg tabled the K♥Q♠ for the flush. Harder got up in anger and left the room swiftly as the dealer turned over the hand he had called with, A♦A♣.

Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Arthur Schiavo left the tournament area with a very loud "fuck" after his flopped set of fours went down in flames, up against ace-king which went runner-runner for the superior full house.

Two tables over, Julien Duveau got it in for 16,300 preflop with the 7♠7♥. Dann Turner looked him up with A♥10♠ and hit broadway on the K♠J♣5♥7♦Q♣ runout.

"Terrible. I had thirty five tournaments and no cash," Duveau sighed on his way out.

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Action folded to a player in middle position, and he raised to 3,000. Jordan Spurlin called from the hijack, as did Stanley Tang on the button.

The flop came 3♣A♠Q♣ and all three players checked to the turn.

After the 8♦ on the turn, the middle position player bet out 4,000. Spurlin called, and Tang folded.

The river was the 4♦ and the middle position player checked to Spurlin, who bet 26,500 to put his opponent all in. After taking a minute to think over his decision, he did make the call.

Spurlin tabled A♥10♥ for a pair of aces, and the all-in player tossed K♠K♥ into the muck as they left the tournament area.

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Action folded to Kevin Ordet, who raised to 3,500 on the button, and then things escalated quickly after the small blind folded.

The player in the big blind three-bet to 11,500, returning action to Ordet.

Ordet paused a moment before reaching into his stack for chips, and then four-bet to 27,000.

The player in the big blind responded with a five-bet by moving all in, and Ordet immediately called to put his opponent at risk.

“You have aces?” the player in the big blind asked.

He would discover Ordet had the next best thing when the hands were tabled.

Player in Big Blind: J♣J♠ All in
Kevin Ordet: K♥K♠

Ordet had the lead in the hand and it remained that way after the dealer fanned 7♥7♠2♠ on the flop. The 10♣ on the turn and Q♠ on the river gave Ordet the win and knockout blow.
