Event 17 (Day 2): The Harder They Come...

Level 16 (Blinds 1,500/3,000/400)
Total Entries: 178
Players Remaining: 24

Christian Harder
Four players saw the flop on Table 29 before Roger Low pushed all-in from the Big Blind.

Low came back from dinner break with just 60,000 chips, so it wasn't a huge push - at least in comparison to Christian Harder's decision to re-raise all-in from under the gun. Harder had Low covered several times over, making the decision a much more difficult one for the other players in the hand. Ian Davis went into the tank before ultimately folding. Davis' cards were barely even in the muck before Lawrence Pileggi's followed, and the two remaining hands were face up.

Harder: A♠ Q     Low: K Q

Flop: Q♠ 10♣ 6♣
Turn: 6♠
River: 3♠

Christian outkicked Roger in a battle of the queens, sending Low to the rail in 25th place while Harder is now all but tied for the chip lead.
