Kanme Busts Hardcastle to Join Chip Leaders
Nivel 13
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Action was caught on the river, with around 140,000 in the middle on the J♠A♣7♥8♠3♠ board.
Jack Hardcastle checked in the small blind, prompting Raoul Kanme to bet 57,000 from the button. Hardcastle moved all in for 168,000, sending Kanme deep into the tank. Hardcastle remained stoic as Kanme agonized.
Kanme, who covered, slid in calling chips and breathed a huge sigh of relief when the cards were tabled.
Hardcastle tabled K♠J♦, and his bluff using the second nut-flush blocker was unable to get through as Kanme couldn't find a fold with his 8♣7♣, which was good for two pair.
Hardcastle left the tournament room, and Kanme told tablemate Jeff Kirsch that he was very close to folding.
