Karnofsky Can't Withstand the Heat

Level 33 : Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante

Harlan Karnofsky opened to 700,000 from the button and called when Honghao Zhang made it 2,200,000 from the big blind.

Zhang continued for 1,400,000 on the AQ2 flop before Karnofsky made it 4,000,000, leaving around 5,000,000 behind. Zhang moved all in, and Karnofsky immediately kissed his teeth.

"Ace-ten, couldn't withstand the heat," he said as he folded his hand.

Zhang jammed the next hand and folded out Karnofsky.

On the next deal, Karnofsky raised to 600,000 and Zhang called from the big blind. Zhang check-called for 500,000 on the AQJ flop before the 8 turn and 9 river checked through to showdown. Zhang tabled J5 for a pair of jacks and Karnofsky mucked.
