Karamalikis Ups Aggression
Ryan Otto is beginning to turn the screws and vacuum up all the chips he can, increasing his holdings to 1.8 million as level began to wind down with just 15 minutes remaining on the clock.
That left Jonathan Karamalikis and Roger Teska close to evenly stacked with the rest of the chips in play between the pair of them.
However, Karamalikis chose to go on the offensive to win two hands in a row with some aggressive pre-flop re-raising.
The first saw Otto the man opening the action with a button raise to 30,000, folding when Karamalikis three-bet to 105,000 take it down without a flop being dealt.
The second saw Roger Teska make it 30,000 from the button and Karamalikis made it 106,000 to go from the small blind, which was good for some more blinds and antes.
