Karabet Takes Down McLaughlin
Level 35
: Blinds 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante
Bennett McLaughlin raised to 1,000,000 in middle position. Karabet Keshishyan made the call from the cutoff. The rest of the table folded.
The flop hit 2♠A♠Q♦. McLaughlin bet 800,000. Keshishyan called.
That pattern repeated when the board paired with the A♥ on the turn; that time it was for 1,700,000.
McLaughlin kept firing when the river brought the 3♣, shoving all in for 4,475,000 chips. Keshishyan didn't hesitate to call.
McLaughlin showed a pair of jacks J♠J♣, but Keshishyan had A♣J♥ for trip aces and the win.
