Action From Dan

[user4144]

Having made consecutive finals in 2003 and 2004, Dan Harrington is one of the legends of WSOP, and a real veteran of the game. He's also one of these players who can build up chips without you noticing. Most of the time he'll be folding, but then you look away for one moment, glance back and he has doubled his stack. That's the situation here as Harrington, who was previously on 12,000, has suddenly jumped up to 24,000 from seemingly nowhere.

I did, at least, manage to catch a small hand, like a frustrated detective finally unearthing a lead. With the flop reading {A-Spades} {8-Clubs} {A-Clubs} , Harrington called a bet of 700 before checking down the {4-Clubs} turn and {6-Hearts} before showing {9-Spades} {9-Clubs} . His opponent held {10-Diamonds} {8-Diamonds} . This put him up to 26,000 and well further away from the danger zone.
