Karam Moving Up

Level 8 : 200/400, 50 ante

As we scanned the remaining tables for big stacks we happened upon an exciting hand. A player in mid position raised to 1,100 and Marc Karam re-raised to 2,200. The other player called and the flop came {k-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{2-Hearts}. The initial preflop raiser pushed all in for 4,250 and Karam tanked for a bit before deciding to call.

Karam: {9-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}
Opponent: {a-Clubs}{2-Clubs}

Although Karam was already in the lead, the {9-Spades} on the turn secured him the win and helped boost his stack up to around 40,000.
