Championship Day 1C: Karim In Trouble

$3,500 WPT Seminole Hard Rock Poker Showdown Championship
Level 7: 250/500/75 Ante

We got to the table with approximately 10,000 in the pot and a bet of 7,100 in front of Zo Karim with the board showing Jc6c3hTs. The other two players, who had checked to Karim, made the call.

The river was the 6s and it was checked again to Karim who took a moment contemplating whether to bet or not before deciding against it. A player said “ace” as he turned over Ac9c and Karim picked up the cards, studied them in moderate disbelief, and slapped them down on the table.

“Nice hand,” he said, his stack now in the danger zone after having been one of the chip leaders earlier in the day. In other action, Ryan D’Angelo has gone “busto” after all.
