On the last hand before the next break, it was three-ways to a 7s6d3s flop and Steve Karp bet 150,000. Cosmin Jolpis called and Richard Zipes raised to 475,000. Karp moved all in for 3,300,000 and Jolpis folded. Zipes took several minutes to think it through.

The two of them were talking back and forth as the break clock moved along. Karp agreed to show his hand if Zipes folds and shows.

“I don’t know how I can fold this hand,” Zipes said.

He eventually let his hand go showing 7c3c for two pair and Karp showed him 7h6h for a bigger two pair.

Once the pot was settled, the five remaining players went on break.

Steve Karp – 4,225,000 (56 bb)
Richard Zipes – 4,900,000 (65 bb)
