Karlsson Sends Fountoukidis Out the Backdoor
Level 21
: Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
Kimon Fountoukidis opened to 30,000 from under the gun and Karl Karlsson three-bet to 75,000 in the hijack. When it got back to Fountoukidis, he shoved for 185,000, and Karlsson called.
Kimon Fountoukidis: Q♠Q♥ 
Karl Karlsson: A♣Q♣
Fountoukidis was ahead with his pocket queens and was looking to start building a stack. The flop of J♦6♣J♠ kept him in front, but he had to sweat a little when the 9♣ turn gave Karlsson a flush draw.
That flush draw came in when the 8♣ hit the river, which meant Fountoukidis was eliminated.
