Harder Slow Plays Aces and Finds a Double

Tyler Boyer

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Michael Choe raised to 6,500 from the under the gun, and Christian Harder in early position made the call. Action folded around leaving the two players heads up.

The flop came 2?5?K? and Choe bet out 2,200, before Harder raised to 7,000. Choe quickly made the call to see a turn.

The turn was the 6? and Choe bet 22,700 to put Harder all in, and he snap called.

Christian Harder: A?A? All in
Michael Choe: 9?7?

Harder slow played his pocket aces pre flop and needed to fade the flush draw and gut shot straight draw of Choe. The river was the 7? and Harder's pocket aces were still best, and he secured the double up.
