Harrington Defends His Blinds
Poker legend Dan Harrington is still in the field with a decent amount of chips. He successfully defended his big and small blind in back to back hands.
In the first hand, he was facing a bet of 7,000 chips on the flop of 2?7?5? and called in the big blind.
The turn was the 4? and Harrington now led for 11,000. His opponent in early position called.
The river was the 3?, bringing in more straights as well as a backdoor flush. Harrington fired 30,000. This got a fold from his opponent.
The next hand, Harrington went to the flop of 2?5?2? three-way with players in the big blind and under the gun.
The under-the-gun player bet 15,000 and Harrington called. The big blind folded.
The turn 7? got checked around.
The river came the 9? and Harrington bet 20,000 and got another fold on a low coordinated board to chip up some more.
