Karp Suprises the Table with the Strength of his Hand

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Ollie Garland

Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

The pot stood at approximately 5,000 with two players looking at a flop of A♣2♠J♠

Gajan Jeganathan, in early position, checked and then called a bet of 3,200 from Herbert Karp, on the button.

The 2♥ turn checked through to the 2♣ on the river. Jeganathan took the lead for 6,500 and Karp quickly called the river, asking whether Jeganathan held the remaining two as he did so.

Jeganathan tabled A♠4♠ for a full house, although he was way behind the superior full house of Karp as he tabled A♦A♥.
