Sure enough, the river was the to complete Serda's straight and Karamalikis was eliminated. Serda laughed and said "I'll see you later" while Karamalikis wished the table good luck and headed to the rail.
Serda came in to the day with 1,400,000 in chips, and was sitting out for a good while because he was chip-leading the $10,000 NL $1.5 million guaranteed WCOOP High Roller online. He ended up shipping the whole thing for almost half a million USD, and now sits near the top of the counts in this $2 million guaranteed event. He is also well-known for his heads-up chop in the 2016 EPT Prague High Roller after he earned himself better than ICM to allow William Kassouf to take home the title and trophy. He now has a High Roller win to himself after steam-rolling the field on Day 2 today.
Keep an eye out for the Winnipeg native as he sits atop the leader board hunting for back-to-back titles this week!
