Karam Finds Aces at the Perfect Time

Level 11 : Blinds 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante
Hala Karam
Hala Karam

Luke Marsh raised to 5,000 from the cutoff before Hala Karam three-bet to 15,000 out of the small blind. Marsh called to see a flop.

Karam continued with a bet of 15,000 on the 31010 flop. Marsh raised to roughly 30,000, and Karam instantly shoved for 80,000. Marsh somewhat reluctantly called, and Karam asked: "You have the ten?". Marsh responded with "no" as the cards were flipped over.

Hala Karam: AA All in
Luke Marsh: QQ

Karam was far ahead with her pocket Rockets and just had to avoid a queen to double up. The rest of the board ran out 510, and Karam doubled up at Marsh's expense.
