"Future Hall of Famer" Claassen Catches Huge Double-Up
Level 12
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 3,500 ante
Arriving to the table with 50,000 chips in the middle and after the draws had happened. The player in the small blind checked to Christopher Claassen in the big blind.
Claassen then jammed all in for 64,000, sending the small blind into the tank. Eventually, he made the call, leaving himself just 1,500 in chips behind.
Claassen showed 7x6x5x3x2x for a seven-low, and the small blind merely flashed his cards before adding them to the muck.
The small blind was eliminated by Patrick Leonard the next hand. Leonard then told PokerNews that Claassen would definitely be inducted into the Poker Hall of Fame later in his career.
