Karlic Remains In

Level 26 : 500,000/1,000,000, 1,000,000 ante

Gerald Karlic was all in for 100,000 out of the small blind, one tenth of a big blind. Sina Alamzad in the big blind called a raise to 2.4 million by Jonathan Wong and check-called a bet of 2.5 million on the {4-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{2-Spades} flop. Both checked the {4-Diamonds} turn and Alamzad led for 6 million on the {3-Diamonds} river.

"I know you like trashy hands," Wong said and sighed. However, he called after some consideration and Alamzad showed {A-Clubs}{10-Spades}. Wong had that beat with {K-Diamonds}{K-Hearts} and Karlic won the hand with {6-Diamonds}{4-Hearts} for a full house.

Karlic had to post the button ante of one million the next hand and had 300,000 left, which he committed. Alamzad filled up on the small blind and Wong was in the big blind. The {Q-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} flop and {4-Hearts} turn were checked. Alamzad bet the {K-Clubs} river for 2.5 million and Wong folded.

"That's not good," Karlic said but Alamzad only showed {10-Clubs}{8-Clubs}. Karlic had that beat with {9-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} and tripled his 300,000 while getting the button ante to bump his stack from one tenth to almost two big blinds.

Soon after, Alamzad raised into the big blind of Idziak and the latter called. On the {K-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}{7-Clubs} flop, Idziak checked and Alamzad bet 2.3 million.
