Richard Zipes

Richard Zipes and Steve Karp played a couple of big hands shortly after returning from dinner.

On the first, Karp opened to 175,000 from the cutoff and picked up called from Cosmin Joldis on the button and Zipes in the small blind. All three checked it down until the board read 4d3c2s5h3h and Zipes bet 375,000. Karp called and Joldis folded.

Zipes tabled 9s3s for trip threes but Karp showed AdJs for the turned wheel.

Soon after, Zipes opened to 275,000 and Karp came along from the small blind to the Jh7c3h flop. Karp checked, Zipes bet 375,000 and Karp called. The turn was 4d and both players checked. The board finished with the 4h river and Karp put out 675,000.

“Do you have a boat Steve?” Zipes asked.

Karp was tight-lipped, said nothing, and Zipes called.

Zipes: AhTh
Karp: Kh8h

Zipes made the nut flush versus second nut flush to pull the big pot.

Richard Zipes – 6,600,000 (88 bb)
Steve Karp – 1,550,000 (21 bb)
