Christian Harder Makes the Nuts To Take the Chip Lead

Daniel Bekavac opens to 5,500 in the lojack and is called by the hijack and the small blind. Christian Harder three-bets to 27,000 in the big blind and all three players call.

The flop comes and the small blind checks. Harder checks as well, and Bekavac checks behind. The hijack goes all in for 19,500 and the small blind check-raises to 60,000. Harder calls, sending Bekavac into the tank for a bit.

Bekavac states that he checked with the intention of the hijack jamming, but that he did not want to see the action that ensued thereafter. He then announces a fold, and both the main and side pots are made correct.

The turn comes the and the small blind goes all in for another 130,000. Harder immediately calls.

Harder has flopped the nuts and has both of his opponents drawing dead to the river to score the double-knockout and win a massive pot to take him to the top of the counts with only a handful of minutes remaining in the evening.
