Christian Harder Doubles Thru Daiane Mendes

Under the gun plus one, Christian Harder opens to 33,000, and Daiane Mendes calls from the big blind.

Heads up, the flop comes [Kh9s3h], and Mendes leads out for 25,000. Harder calls, and the turn brings the [8h]. Mendes fires another 100,000 at the pot, and Harder takes pause. The bet represents more than half his remaining stack.

After a minute or so, Harder moves all in for 187,000, and Mendes makes the call to put him at risk. She tables [AsAd], but Harder’s [Kd9c] has flopped two pair to give him a lead.

The river is the [Js], and Harder doubles up. He’s increased to 512,000, dropping Mendes down to about 750,000 in the process.
