Event 14 (Day 1B): Hard Luck For Christian

Level 5 (Blinds 100/200/25)
Total Day 1B Entries: 84

The action at Table 41 was picked up pre-flop, as Scott Heiser limped the cutoff.  The action would fold to Michael Rossi in the small blind, who would make it 1,800 to go.  Christian Harder was in the big blind, and he would three-bet to 4,000.  After Heiser folded behind, Rossi would five-bet all-in (having Harder covered), and Christian would make the call:

Harder: A K         Rossi: J J♣

Runout: 3♠ 10♠ 79 J♠

The runout would not bring any help for Harder, who would bust his second bullet and immediately head to the tournament podium to get back in.  With that pot Rossi is now up to 34,000, sitting around the average at the moment.
