Karambinis 4-Bets All-In On The Flop

Chris Karambinis

We just caught an exciting pot with Chris Karambinis, where he four-bet all in to take down a sizable pot and nearly double his stack.

The flop read {q-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{3-Clubs}, and Karambinis checked. His opponent bet 4,700 into the 12,000 pot. Karambinis then raised to 10,700, putting some pressure on his opponent who returned fire with a three-bet to 18,700.

Karambinis quickly four-bet with an all-in, later saying that he had a great read on his opponent. His opponent folded, and Karambinis took down a 30,000 pot to bring his stack up to 85,000.

DeMaci Takes a Beat for his Stack

Level 10 : 400/800, 100 ante

Chris DeMaci, in the small blind, jammed over a button raise. The button called with {a-Diamonds}{2-Spades}. DeMaci turned over {k-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}, and he was way in front.

The flop came {7-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}, but an {a-Hearts} on the turn left DeMaci in dire straits. The river was the {j-Spades}, dooming DeMaci.

"Good luck, everybody," he said, gathering his stuff.

Johnson Sends One Out

Level 10 : 400/800, 100 ante

A player in early position raised to 1,700, and a short stack in middle position moved all in. Marco Johnson, who covered the player, shipped it over the top. Everyone else folded.

Johnson: {a-Hearts}{k-Clubs}
Middle position:n {a-Spades}{q-Clubs}

Johnson was in a dominating position, and he only solidified it when {4-Spades}{k-Diamonds}{6-Hearts} flopped. Two eights hit the board after that, and Johnson has nearly 50,000 now.
