Harnden's Hero Call Pays Off

Mickey Doft

Jamil Wakil opened to 30,000 in early position and Jim Harnden appeared to have called from the small blind, but put too many chips in and was forced to min-raise. Wakil four-bet to 126,000, but that didn't shake Harnden who called to see the {K-Hearts} {10-Spades} {2-Spades} flop.

Harnden fired 100,000, but was met a Wakil shove. With 259,000 behind, Harnden tanked for a good three minutes before emerging with a call.

"You're ahead," said Wakil as he turnd over {A-Diamonds} {4-Clubs} .

Harnden showed {A-Hearts} {Q-Clubs} and was in fact ahead, improving to Broadway when the {J-Clubs} hit the turn. The {2-Diamonds} river secured his double up.
