Steve Karp Eliminates Jeff Hakim on the Bubble

Level 17 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

Steve Karp and Jeff Hakim got all of their money in the middle on the money bubble. It was a classic race scenario with Karp holding {q-Clubs}{q-Diamonds} against the {a-}{k-} of Hakim.

The board ran out {10-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{j-Spades}{k-Clubs}. Although Hakim hit his king on the river, it also made a straight for Karp. Hakim was eliminated on the money bubble and the remaining 94 players will be guaranteed a payday of $7,414.
