Kamberis Lays it Down

Level 19 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
Alex "AJKHoosier1" Kamberis
Alex "AJKHoosier1" Kamberis

It wasn't a very fun break for Alex Kamberis, thanks to the final hand of the previous level:

From middle position, Wade Townsend opened with a raise to 18,000, and Kamberis (better known as "AJKHoosier1" online) made the call from the button to see a heads-up flop.

It came {Q-Hearts} {8-Spades} {J-Spades}, and Townsend checked. When Kamberis bet 33,000 though, Townsend check-raised to 70,000, and Kamberis called. They both checked the {5-Spades} turn, and the river {10-Hearts} filled out the board. Townsend took his cue, moving all in for just about 300,000 on an overshove. Kamberis had about 280,000 chips left in his own stack, and he'd spend the next six or eight minutes deep in the tank as the level ran out to zero. It was a long while before he stood up from his chair, slid his cards into the muck, and walked away for break.

After two or three steps, he turned around and said, "Show the bluff," to which Townsend responded by flipping over his {K-Clubs} {4-Diamonds}. Kamberis was not impressed as he stormed off for the ten-minute stew, left with those 280,000 chips.
