Spotlight: Chris Karagulleyan

[user75032]

Chris Karagulleyan has been involved in more than his share of pots in the last half hour. Two times, he called a raise in position only to see one of the blinds behind him squeeze him out. The first time Karagulleyan showed {A-?}

{A-?}

{10-?}

when he folded to a raise by Mike Sowers; the second time he showed {A-?}

{A-?}

{Q-?}

before folding to a raise from Binh Nguyen.

But Karagulleyan has taken down a few pots, too. He raised to 125,000 preflop and was called by Cornel Andrew Cimpan. Both players checked a flop of {9-Clubs}

{9-Clubs}

{7-Diamonds}

{8-Hearts}

. Cimpan bet 200,000 on the {4-Clubs}

{4-Clubs}

turn and was quickly called by Karagulleyan. Both players again checked the {2-Clubs}

{2-Clubs}

river. Cimpan showed {3-Spades}

{3-Spades}

{3-Diamonds}

, but that was second-best to Karagulleyan's {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

{8-Diamonds}

.
