Audley Harrison, the 2,000 Olympic gold medallist in the super-heavyweight boxing division, is at the tables again. Harrison played Day 1a and, although he got off to a storming start, he couldn’t beat the count and failed to bag up chips.
He attended a wedding the next day and said that would be his last poker tournament on this trip to Vegas. Harrison though was playing at Planet Hollywood last night and is off to a decent start in The Giant Day 1d
The board on the river read and a player bet 800.
“I think you might have me out-kicked,” Harrison said before he called.
His opponent showed which did not out kick or beat the top pair of Harrison.

There was an open to 125 for an opponent who had already lost a few early pots when Brett Shaffer bumped it up to 1,150 and his opponent called.
The flop was and the short-stack player committed the rest of his 4,000 stack with Shaffer putting him at risk.
Shaffer:
Opponent
The board bricked out and Shaffer added a decent pot while his opponent was felted.
The GIANT offers unlimited rebuys until the start of Level 9, though, so he may well try again.
