Harig was in bad shape with his under pair, and the 
flop didn't provide much help. The 
turn did give Harig some extra outs to a straight, meaning he would need either an eight or six on the river to keep his Main Event hopes alive. Wouldn't you know it, the 
slammed down on the river.
The crowd around the ESPN Main Stage gasped, while Harig allowed a smile to creep across his face as he chipped up to over six million.
