Karakas Flops Three Queens
Level 6
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
There was a raise to 1,600 in the hijack and it was called by the small blind. Erkan Karakas also tagged along from the big blind to see a flop of Q♥Q♣8♣. The action checked to the hijack who continued with a bet of 1,500. The small blind folded and Karakas check-raised to 4,500 which his opponent called.
The turn was the 9♦ and Karakas dropped in a bet of 30,000. His opponent mulled it over before calling off his stack of around 16,000. Karakas tabled K♠Q♠ while his opponent was left drawing slim with 10♠9♠. The river was the 2♥ and Karakas held on to send his opponent to the rail.
