"TV Hand" Leads to Karmi's Demise

Brandon Temple

Level 16 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Waseem Karmi jammed for 55,000 from middle position, and Larry Wagner called in the cutoff.

Waseem Karmi:
Larry Wagner:

Wagner flopped a set on the flop, but Karmi caught up on the turn with an ace-high straight. Both players improved further on the river, but Karmi's flush was left felted by the full house of Wagner.

"That's a TV hand!" Craig Trost noted.

Jasper May jammed for 80,000 from middle position, and Chad Holloway three-bet shoved for 280,000 on the button, chasing out the blinds.

Jasper May:
Chad Holloway:

"Nice spot for those, bud," May told Holloway. May was dead by the turn of a board to fall a few places shy of a cash.

Giedrius Bagdonas raised to 9,500 from middle position, and was called by Zbiqniew Grad in the hijack and Yousef Saleh on the button.

Bagdonas bet 15,000 on the flop, and only Grad called.

Both players checked the turn and river, and Bagdonas tabled for queens-full-of-eights. Grad mucked.

Anthony Thompson

Level 17 : 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante

Neil Patel opened for 11,000 from early position and action folded around to Aaron Johnson in the big blind who only had 9,500 total.

"This is a gross spot, I don't think I can fold this here," said Johnson right before he tossed his remaining 5,500 in the middle.

Neil Patel:
Aaron Johnson:

Johnson woke up with the weapons of mass destruction at a perfect time and found the much needed double after the runout.

Level 17 : 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante

"Dan! All in on the bubble, I'm gonna get a bad beat I'm told!"

That was the cry from Johnathan Shannon, who got his last 26,000 in from the big blind after a raise to 13,000 from Mark Fink on the button. Fink called to put Shannon at risk.
