"TV Hand" Leads to Karmi's Demise

BrandonTemple

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.

Johnson Doubles With Aces On the Bubble

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.
