Harrison Ducks a Knockout Punch

[user4144]

My old gym partner Audley Harrison was just involved in a pot, the professional boxer calling a raise of 1,300 from the button before reaching a {9-Hearts} {10-Hearts} {A-Diamonds} flop.

Both players checked, only for Harrison to reach down with those giant paws and make a "little bet" of 1,050 on the {A-Spades} turn. His opponent called.

On the {2-Hearts} river, his opponent checked once again, and although he went to pull out some more chips, his spider senses inexplicably tingled at the last second and he made the check.

It was ultimately the right decision as his opponent revealed {10-Clubs} {10-Spades} for the flopped set and turned boat. I don't know if Harrison checked an ace or not, but if he did, it was a lucky escape as his opponent played his hand slower than a slug through treacle.
