Wilbur Sliding; Karahalios on the Uptick

Level 11 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

We missed the hand happen, but we do know that Tony Karahalios doubled through Bruce Russell. Karahalios got his stack of 83,000 all in preflop holding {a-}{k-} and was racing against the {q-}{q-} of Russell. A king on the river secured the pot for Karahalios, and Russell took a hit, though he soon recoup the chips off Adam Wilbur.

Not long after, Wilbur opened with a raise from the button only to have Karahalios three-bet to 16,200 from the big blind. Wilbur called and then bet 15,000 after Karahalios checked the {4-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{7-Clubs} flop. Both players proceeded to check the {3-Hearts} turn as well as the {A-Diamonds} river and Karahalios rolled over the {j-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}. It was good as a frustrated Wilbur sent his cards to the muck.
