Level 22 : 12,000/24,000, 3,000 ante
Antoine Amourette
Antoine Amourette

Antoine Amourette raised to 60,000 from the small blind, attacking Jonathan Karamalikis' big blind once again. Last time Amourette did this, he had two kings, but wound up doubling Karamalikis up when he flopped two pair. This time, Karamalikis called just like last time.

The flop came down {10-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{4-Diamonds} and Amourette check-called a bet of 60,000 from Karamalikis. The turn added the {J-Spades} to the board and Amourette check-called again, this time for 100,000. The river completed the board with the {6-Diamonds} and both players checked.

Karamalikis tabled the {K-Clubs}{7-Spades}, but his hand lost to Amourette's {K-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}. Amourette's rivered six gave him the pot.

Karamalikis Cruising, Hansimikali Slipping

Level 22 : 12,000/24,000, 3,000 ante

Jonathan Karamalikis raised to 50,000 from early position and Manuel Hansimikali called from the big blind. The flop came down {K-Hearts}{J-Clubs}{10-Clubs} and Hansimikali check-called a bet of 60,000 from Karamalikis.

The turn brought the {10-Diamonds} to pair the board and both players checked. They also both checked after the {Q-Clubs} fell on the river.

Hansimikali showed the {Q-Spades}{8-Spades} for queens and tens with a king kicker. Karamalikis had that beat with the {Q-Hearts}{J-Spades} for queens and jacks.

Hansimikali dropped to 230,000 and is now in the danger zone with his stack under ten big blinds. Karamalikis in on the other side of the spectrum, leading the way with 2.9 million.

The turn card was the {3-Diamonds} and Rafferty fired 100,000. Amourette called and Karamalikis folded. The river cad was he {2-Spades} and both remaining players checked.

Both played the two pair on board with an ace kicker and chopped up the pot. Amourette held the {A-Spades}{Q-Spades} and Rafferty the {A-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}.
