Karr Goes Over the Brink

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 500 ante

We arrived just at the end of this one; thanks to our Swedish friends for filling us in on the details.

McLean Karr shoved under the gun for less than 200,000; on the button Kristoffer Thorsson reshoved for over 700,000. Over to Torsten Brinkmann in the small blind, who called all in for around 400,000. Three-way showdown!

Karr: {10-Hearts}{10-Spades}
Thorsson: {j-Spades}{j-Hearts}
Brinkmann: {a-Spades}{k-Spades}

Board: {2-Clubs}{9-Spades}{5-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{k-Clubs} keeping it exciting right until the river.

Karr busted, while Thorsson lost more than half his stack and dropped to 325,000. Brinkmann has now moved up in the world from mere Averageville to the lofty heights of Big Stack City - he's at almost a million.
