Sava Krink

Level 23 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

PokerNews caught the action with Pavlin Karakikov already all in preflop from the small blind, facing off against Uri Reichenstein in the big blind.

Pavlin Karakikov: K♦J♠All in
Uri Reichenstein: K♠Q♠

Karakikov needed help, and he got it on a dramatic runout of 10♥J♦7♣8♠4♦, giving him a pair of jacks. It was a big double-up for Karakikov, flipping the momentum in his favor.

But the two tangled again just a few hands later. This time, Karakikov opened to 80,000 from the cutoff, only for Reichenstein to three-bet to 280,000 on the button. Karakikov moved all in, and Reichenstein called instantly.

Pavlin Karakikov: A♥K♠All in
Uri Reichenstein: 10♥10♠

Reichenstein’s tens held firm as the board came 2♥7♠7♣6♣3♠. Karakikov was left with just 135,000 after the hand.
