Karakitukov Survives With a Chop
Level 25
: Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Filip Lovric raised to 375,000 and Veselin Karakitukov called.
The flop came 4♣5♣2♦ and Lovric continued for 300,000. Karakitukov then raised to 1,775,000, Lovric moved all in, and Karakitukov committed his last 415,000.
Veselin Karakitukov: 7♣5♦4♦3♠
Filip Lovric: A♣K♦7♠3♣
Lovric had one hand on the trophy as he showed the flopped straight and nut flush draw, while Karakitukov had two pair.
The K♠ turn left Lovric one card away from the title and he began celebrating once the A♥ fell on the river before realizing Karakitukov had made the same straight and they chopped the pot.
