Tharp is Unstoppable
Level 5
: 150/300, 25 ante
It's been a dream start for Brandon Tharp here on Day 1c. He's playing well, hitting cards, and is the early chip leader. His heater is bound to cool, but right now he's soundly taking care of any and all who stand in his way. Take Jason Smith for instance.
In a recent hand, there was around 15,000 in the pot and a board reading 
when Tharp bet 7,000 and Smith moved all in for 16,500. Tharp tanked for a bit before making the call, and his 
was ahead of Smith's 
. The river was a blank, and Tharp's nines held to give him another big pot while sending Smith to the rail.
