Karlins Was Halfway Out the Door

Level 14 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

After a series of preflop raises, Marvin Karlins found himself all in for 143,400 on the button against Daniel Dizenzo in the small blind. Karlins held {a-Spades}{q-Clubs} but unfortunately ran into the {k-Clubs}{k-Diamonds} of Dizenzo.

The flop came {k-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{5-Hearts} and Dizenzo flopped a set of kings to hold a commanding lead after the flop. The turn was the {6-Clubs} and the river brought the {10-Clubs}. As the dealer started to count Karlins' chips, he was still a little bit confused.

"I think he has me covered," Karlins piped up.

"You know you won the hand, right?" another player asked him. "You made a straight."

"Oh. Sorry, I didn't even see that," Karlins said with a bit more excitement in his voice.

Karlins nearly headed out the door after the flop and after he made the best hand on the river. But for now, he'll be sticking around in his seat a little longer while Dizenzo has some work to do.
