Karamalikis Crippled, Then Eliminated

[user75032]

Day 2 has started off horribly for Jonathan Karamalikis. He got all in preflop with Frank Saffioti. Karamalikis was in a dominating position, tabling {A-?}

{A-?}

{K-?}

against Saffioti's {K-Diamonds}

{K-Diamonds}

{10-Hearts}

, but the board ran out {8-Diamonds}

{8-Diamonds}

{6-Hearts}

{7-Spades}

{K-Clubs}

{9-Spades}

to make a ten-high straight for Saffioti. He doubled to about 45,000. Karamalikis was left with only 5,200.

A few hands later, Karamalikis reraised all in over an open-raiser and a caller. Karamalikis held pocket eights and couldn't dodge the overcards he needed to. The other two players held {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{J-Clubs}

and

{A-Diamonds}

{Q-Diamonds}

and both hit an ace on the turn to send Karamalikis to the rail.
