Karn Again

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

We caught heads-up action between Papa Karn and Sam Panzica and a board of {6-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}. Karn led for 6,000 and Panzica made the call. The river brought the {3-Hearts} and Karn checked. Panzica moved all in for 8,700 and Karn thought for a moment before making the call.

Panzica showed {a-Hearts}{q-Clubs}, but Karn's {a-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} was good for two pair and the pot, eliminating Panzica, who immediately reentered.

Karn and Samples Battle

Level 5 : 150/300, 50 ante
Papa Karn
Papa Karn

Papa Karn opened to 2,000 from the hijack and Lynn Samples called from the button. The players in the blinds folded and they saw a heads-up flop of {j-Spades}{8-Hearts}{k-Clubs}. Karn bet 2,000 and Samples called. The {7-Hearts} turn brought a check from Karn and Samples bet 4,000. Karn called and the {5-Spades} fell on the river. Karn again check-called, this time for 6,000. Samples tabled {k-Spades}{10-Clubs}, but Karn out-kicked her with {a-Spades}{k-Hearts}.

Karn has fired multiple bullets into this Main Event and this may be the one where he gets something rolling.

Krier Flops Dirty

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante

Matt Krier limped from the hijack and Mike Rieck limped behind with Matt Lawrence raising to 1,050. The player in the small blind called and Krier came back with a three-bet to 3,000. Rieck and Lawrence got out of the way and the player in the small blind made the call.

The flop came {8-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{a-Hearts} and both players checked. The {10-Clubs} turn brought a bet of 3,700 and Krier made the call. The river was the {3-Clubs} and Krier's opponent led again for 3,700. Krier moved all in and his opponent called even after noticing "I guess you did have the aces". Indeed, Krier turned over {a-Diamonds}{a-Spades} and his opponent dejectedly flipped the {8-Clubs}.

Traber Rockets Ahead

Level 3 : 75/150, 25 ante

Preflop raises to 3,700 between James Traber and an opponent brought an all-in push of 4,000 from Pap Karn and both players called to see a flop of {4-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}. Traber led with an all-in bet and his opponent thought for a moment, but eventually made the call.

Traber: {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs}

Opponent: {k-Spades}{k-Clubs}

Karn: {9-Spades}{10-Spades}

The {a-Spades} on the turn sealed it for Traber and he sent his opponents packing. Karn, however, immediately reentered the tournament and was sent back to the same table with a 20,000 starting stack.
