Michael Marcos limped from middle position, Jonathan Karamalikis called from the button, the small blind folded and the big blind checked.
With that, three players would see a flop!
Flop:
With the action checked to Karamalikis, he led out for 1,200. The big blind player got out of the way and Marcos made the call.
The turn came the and with it a 4,000 bet from Marcos. Karamalikis made the call and we would see a river.
River:
Marcos again led out, this time for 6,000. After much deliberation Karamalikis made the call and mucked his hand when Marcos tabled for a turned straight.
With a stunned look, Karamalikis now sits with 16,500.

Speaking to tablemate Kel Beattie, he informed us on how Aaron Benton was felted.
With a raise ahead of him, Benton moved all in for roughly his last ten big blinds before a player behind him re-shipped to force a fold from the original raiser.
Holding , Benton was unfortunately dominated by his opponent's , and when he failed to spike on the board, he was forced to hit the rail.
Joe Cabret found himself all in for exactly his last 20,000.
Cabret:
Opponent:
The board ran out to see Cabret evade the sweat and double to roughly 43,000.
The following hand, Cabret would finish off his opponent when his held true against when the board was spread to see him move to just over 65,000 in chips.

When Michael Spilkin raised to 3,600 from the cut-off, only Jonathan Karmilikis on the button would elect to see a flop.
Flop:
Spilkin made it 7,500 and after Karamilikis chopped down his stack he announced he was all-in.
Tanking a for a few minutes, Spilkin and Karamalikis could be seen exchanging banter before Karamilikis could be heard asking, "You got sixes or sevens?"
"Will you show?", asked Spilkin.
"No," Karamilikis replied breezily.
With that Spilkin made the call and turned over .
Karamiliks' was in front.
The board ran out blanks and Karamilikis chipped up to around 52,000.
