Karagulleyan Soars

With 5,450 in the pot and a flop of {10-Diamonds}{A-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} out, Chris Karagulleyan check-raised to 7,500 over his opponent's 2,500-chip bet.

Once his opponent made the call, Karagulleyan fired 15,000 when the turn landed the {4-Clubs}, and following a few moments of hesitation his opponent made the call.

"How much you have left?" asked Karagulleyan, but with no response, and the river of the {K-Hearts} falling, Karagulleyan pushed his last 16,725 into the middle.

His opponent ummed and ahhed for near on three minutes before committing his last 6,300 to the pot.

Karagulleyan tabled his {10-Clubs}{10-Spades} for a flopped set, while his opponent tabled {A-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} for two-pair to send him to the rail as Karagulleyan soared to over 73,000 in chips.
