Steve Karp

There was already around 25,000 in the pot as the turn card arrived on a KdTs8h2h board. It checked to Steve Karp in heads-up action, and he bet 14,200. His opponent only had about 40,000 left, and he spent a long while in the tank before moving all in. Karp  quickly called to put him at risk.

Karp: TdTh
Opponent: AdAh

Karp’s set of tens had him poised for the knockout, and he got it as the Qc completed the board on the river. He’s now contending for the chip lead as Level 5 winds toward a close.

Steve Karp – 118,000 (236 bb)
