Chris Karagulleyan Lands a Bigtime Double-Up

Mike Sowers recently gave Chris Karagulleyan a large chunk of the chips he just took from 15th place finisher Dan Lu, in a hand that pitted Sowers' {A-Spades} {Q-Spades} against Karagulleyan's {Q-Clubs} {Q-Hearts}.

All of the money went in before the flop and the board safely ran out jack-high for Karagulleyan, who doubled through to ~1.6 million in chips. Sowers fell back down below the 3 million mark and now has right around 2.25 million in chips.

"Can I have your autograph?" joked one of Karagulleyan's railbirds after the hand. And no, it wasn't this guy.
