Hand-For-Hand
Level 18
: 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
We are down to our final 17, which means we need to lose just one more player in order to conclude play for the day.
Our two tables are now hand-for-hand, which meant everyone from the other table was crowded round during an all-in from the shortstack in the big blind. The player in the hijack raised to 35,000, with the player on the button 3-betting to 75,000. The big blind stuck his last 31,000 in, with the hijack making the call.
The two players checked down the sidepot on a runout, with the big blind triumphantly throwing over his . All eyes looked hopefully at the two other players involved, who both shrugged and both tabled king-high, with the button's superior dragging the sidepot, as 16 players sighed and play continued.
