Karp Triples to Survive
Level 6
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Eli Karp potted under the gun, before Pei Li in the cutoff repotted it. Quan Tran flatted Li's three-bet, and Karp called all in for his tournament life. On a flop of 3♥2♦K♦ Tran check-folded to a bet of 5,000 from Li.
Eli Karp: A♣Q♥7♥5♣ 
Quan Tran: A♦K♠10♦4♦
Karp was in need of a lot of help, but seemed to take some inspiration off Michael Mizrachi as he hit a running flush on J♥5♥ to stay alive, while Tran took in the side pot.
