Action folded to a player in the cutoff who raised all in for 4,600. It folded to the small blind Eric Smith who called to put the player at risk. Once the big blind folded the players were heads up.

Everyone folded except the late position player who called.
Ray Harding: J♣8♣
Late position player: A♦K♣
The turn was the 8♥ which essentially sealed the deal for Harding with his full house and the river 9♦ did not change that result as Harding gained some chips.
