Archie "The Greek" Karas Pads His Stack

Archie Karas just took his stack past the 7,000 mark when he check-raised his opponent all in on a {Q-Spades} {7-Hearts} {4-Spades} flop. Karas got paid off when his opponent called with {A-Spades} {Q-Hearts} but couldn't beat his {K-Clubs} {K-Diamonds}. The turn and river blanked and Archie sits on about 7,200 chips.
