Smith Doubles; Karp Drops Back-to-Back Hands
Level 28
: Blinds 50,000/10,000, 100,000 ante
It was a rough two hands for Steven Karp. The first hand was picked up on a complete board of 8♠9♦Q♠5♠4♥ with about 600,000 in the middle.
Nishant Sharma bet 275,000 from the small blind before Karp made the call out of the big blind.
Sharma showed Q♦6♦, which was good as Karp mucked his hand.
The very next hand, Danette Smith shipped it for 610,000 from middle position before Karp made the call out of the small blind to put Smith at risk.
Danette Smith: A♠7♥
Steven Karp: A♥9♥
Smith's hand was dominated, and the flop kept Karp ahead when it came K♦2♥A♦.
The Q♥ turn presented some chop-out possibilities, but Smith went on to win it outright when the 7♠ peeled to give her two pair and the pot.
