Hirsh Hits River to Eliminate Harmetz

Frank Visser

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

Daniel Harmetz bet the pot of 33,600 on the 5♣Q♥A♦9♦ turn from the big blind, leaving only 5,000 behind. Cutoff Daniel Hirsh called after some time in the tank, after which Terrance Reid gave up on the pot on the button.

Harmetz then committed his last chips on the J♠ river, only to be snapped off by Hirsh. Harmetz announced two pair, but Hirsh had rivered the nuts with A♣K♠J♥10♦10♣ to take his opponent out.

Not much later, Nick Schulman took the empty seat.
