Andras Karkus Eliminated

[user66118]

From early position, Stephen McKinney opened with a raise, and Andras Karkus reraised from the button. McKinney called, and the two men watched the flop bring {6-Spades}

{6-Spades}

{K-Hearts}

{9-Spades}

.

Action was checked over to Karkus, who moved all in for his last 17,000. McKinney made the call with {7-Clubs}

{7-Clubs}

{8-Clubs}

. Karkus showed down the big overpair, {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{A-Hearts}

.

Trouble found Karkus straight away on the turn though, as the {10-Spades}

{10-Spades}

made his opponent a straight, and left him drawing dead. The river was an unimportant {K-Diamonds}

{K-Diamonds}

, and McKinney raked in a big pot to take the presumed chip lead with 85,000.

Andras Karkus, meanwhile, has exited to try again some other day.
