Karrim Doubles Through Lin After Roller Coaster Runout
Level 12
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Ahmed Karrim shoved from the hijack for 17,000 and Ren Lin called from the cutoff with a covering stack to put Karrim at risk.
Ahmed Karrim: A♣9♦
Ren Lin: A♦8♠
Karrim was in good shape to double up with the bigger ace although the K♠K♣7♣ flop increased the likelihood of a chop. That all changed when Lin took the lead on the 8♣ turn although Karrim picked up the nut-flush draw. The flush came right in on the 2♣ river and Karrim scored the double up through Lin.
