Zo Karim (Orlando, FL)
Zo Karim – 1st Place

RECAP
Zo Karim is one of the most recognizable players on the live poker circuit. With more than $800,000 in live tournament earnings in the past three years, he has earned the respect of his peers. In addition, he’s an expert on all matters related to food (just look at his twitter feed). He’s no stranger to success right here at the Seminole Hard Rock, either. Karim took third place in the WPT Seminole Hard Rock Poker Showdown last April for more than $250,000.

How does he do it? Karim summed it up with the two words that have become synonymous with him on the poker trail.

“Brown Magic.”

FINAL RESULTS
1st: Zo Karim (Orlando, FL) – $68,000
2nd: Jeff Trudeau Jr. (Orlando, FL) – $39,800
3rd: Evan Teitelbaum (Parkland, FL) – $26,000

Event 12: Jeff Trudeau Jr. Eliminated in 2nd Place ($39,800)

$2,200 Six-Max NLH
Blinds 4k/8k/1k ante

Jeff Trudeau (Orlando, FL)-001 $39,800
Jeff Trudeau (Orlando, FL)-001
$39,800

Zo Karim limps the button, Jeff Trudeau checks his option, and the flop falls 9s6c3c. Trudeau leads out for 10,000, Karim raises to 35,000, and Trudeau calls to see the 6h turn.

Trudeau checks, Karim bets 40,000, and Trudeau check-raises to 115,000. Karim calls after a few moments, landing the 3s river. Trudeau fires 250,000 and after confirming what Trudeau has behind, Karim shoves with the bigger stack. Trudeau calls all in for 573,000, but mucks when Karim tables 9d6d for sixes full of nines to win the tournament.
