From $100K to the Main
Yesterday, Jonathan Karamalikis tried his luck in the $100,000 Challenge, though things did not go as well as he'd hoped and he was eliminated early on. Today, Karamalikis returns to the felt and is looking to add a Main Event title to his laundry list of accomplishments.
In a recent hand, Karamalikis opened under the gun for 500 and was called by both the hijack and the big blind. When the flop fell 
, The big blind checked, Karamalikis bet 825, and the hijack folded. The big blind then woke up with a check-raise to 1,650, Karamalikis called, and the 
was put out on the turn.
The big blind decided to slow down with a check, which opened the door for Karamalikis to bet 2,200. The big blind wasted little time in throwing away his hand, and Karamalikis took down the small pot.
