Hatmaker Gone, Ahmadi Takes Hit
Level 13
: Blinds 2,000/3,000, 3,000 ante
Casey Hatmaker got it all in for just 12,000 from the cutoff, and both blinds, Phillip Lowery and Nick Ahmadi, made the call.
The K♣A♦K♥ flop checked through, before Ahmadi led for 13,000 on the 8♥ turn. Lowery called, allowing the Q♥ to peel off on the river. Action checked through again, and Hatmaker tabled 4♣4♥ immediately. What had started off as the best hand preflop had been downgraded to the worst postflop, as Lowery's A♣J♠ took it down, and Ahmadi's 10♣8♠ lost out.
