Karamalikis Doubles Through Hanlon

Level 13 : 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante
Jonathan Karamalikis
Jonathan Karamalikis

Jonathan Karamalikis has been nursing a short-stack for the last few levels but has earned a little breathing room with a timely double-up through tablemate David Hanlon.

Hanlon was the initial aggressor, making it 12,000 to go from the button. Karamalikis peeked at his cards in the small blind and then moved all-in for 47,000 in total, with Hanlon making a quick call.

Jonathan Karamalikis: {a-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}
David Hanlon: {k-Hearts}{q-Hearts}

Karamalikis found himself in great shape, and the {10-Clubs}{8-Spades}{k-Spades}{2-Clubs}{7-Spades} runout was just what the doctor ordered, with that pot bringing him up to 103,000 - just a double-up away from the average stack of 203k. Hanlon dropped to 163,000 after the hand.
