Karakitukov Gets Rather Short With Passive Play

Level 29 : 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante

In a limped blind battle, Robert Cowen bet the {j-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} flop for 550,000 with the {10-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{6-Clubs}{4-Spades} for just a pair of fours. Veselin Karakitukov just called with the {q-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} and the {7-Clubs} turn improved Cowen to two pair.

The Brit fired a bet worth 1,650,000 and Karakitukov folded once more to drop further into the danger zone.
