Harder Defeats Fortini

Heads Up - Double Elimination ($2000 + $150)

Harder defeats Fortini

Christian Harder took less than one hour to stop the juggernaut that Hayden Fortini had become. On the final hand, Christian raised to 2,450 from the button on a flop of Q 5 4 rainbow. Hayden check-raised all-in and Christian called, showing QT suited for top pair. Hayden held A4 off for just bottom pair. The turn was an inconsequential 9 and the Queen on the river was overkill.

Hayden Fortini finished in 6th place, earning $6,209.

Christian Harder advances and will play the winner of the Lombardi v Schanbacher match that is currently underway. No clear leader in that match yet.

Jeremy McLaughlin and Jesse Yaginuma are still battling in their semi-final match. They've been at it for over an hour and a half.
