Bear vs. Karp

Level 11 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Steve Karp opened to 2,400 in middle position, and Ken Aldridge flatted a couple seats over. In the big blind, Barry Greenstein squeezed in a reraise to 12,000 straight, and Karp four-bet to 29,400. That folded Aldridge, but Greenstein moved all in for 39,600 and was called to put his tournament life at risk.

Showdown
Karp: {A-Clubs} {Q-Spades}
Greenstein: {K-Spades} {K-Hearts}

The board ran out safe for Greenstein's kings, coming {10-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{9-Clubs}. That's a double up, and it moves the Bear close to 90,000. Karp is cut in half, down to 34,400 now.
