Obst Flips Karamalikis Out

Level 6 : 2,500/5,000, 0 ante
Jonathan Karamalikis
Jonathan Karamalikis

After Jonathan Karamalikis' failed attempt at knocking out Erick Lindgren, it was now Karamalikis' tournament life on the line with his last 38,000 in the middle holding {A-Diamonds}{K-Hearts} needing to win a flip against fellow Australian James Obst, who was holding pocket sixes {6-Hearts}{6-Spades}.

Unfortunately for Karamalikis, the flop of {9-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} ensured Obst continued flipping well in this tournament leaving Karamalikis drawing dead. Karamalikis was already shaking his opponent's hand when the {7-Spades} fell on the turn, and {9-Diamonds} on the river which also happened to fill Obst's boat.

Obst can now add Karamalikis' chips to his already impressive 645,000-chip stack.
