Massive Pot, Massive Chop

[user80015]

Level 24 : 12,000/24,000, 0 ante

Christian Harder opened to 53,000 from the hi-jack and both Warren Fund and Ben Lamb made the call from the cutoff and big blind.

Harder fired out a 130,000-chip continuation-bet on the {7-Hearts} {Q-Clubs} {9-Hearts} flop with both Fund and Lamb making the call as the {6-Spades} landed on the turn. Lamb took this card to take his aggressive route and led out for 400,000. Harder deliberated for roughly sixty seconds before moving all in for 1,122,000 as Fund went into the tank.

Eventually he ended up folding - and stated to the rail that he folded a flush-draw, top two and an eight - as Lamb committed his last 425,000.

Lamb: {J-Diamonds} {10-Hearts} {8-Diamonds} {4-Clubs}
Harder: {K-Spades} {10-Spades} {9-Spades} {8-Hearts}

With both players sharing the same straight, but each having outs (a king for Lamb and a jack for Harder) to improve, the river was the {4-Diamonds} to see the pot chopped up.
