Wantman vs. Karnaos

With about 200,000 in the pot and a flop of {7-Clubs}{K-Clubs}{A-Spades}, Matthew Wantman was in the small blind and led out for 82,000, which prompted Stuart Tuvey to fold from middle position. Action was then on Alexandros Karnaos on the button, and he announced a raise before sliding in an additional 100,000.

Wantman, who was the bigger stack, responded by moving all in. Karnaos has about 450,000 behind and hit the tank. He stared down his opponent for quite some time, but Wantman gave away nothing. Eventually Karnaos folded, only to shake his head in disgust when Wantman flipped over {K-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}.
