Denis Finds a Double Against Karr

McLean Karr opened with a raise to 1,600 from the cutoff seat before play folded to Sandy Denis in the small blind. After a little bit of thought, Denis reraised all in for 18,225. Play moved back over to Karr and he requested a count. Upon receiving one, Karr took a brief pause, then announced the call.

Karr: {9-Spades}{9-Clubs}
Denis: {J-Clubs}{10-Clubs}

The flop gave Denis the lead when the {A-Hearts}{A-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} fell. The turn {3-Spades} and river {Q-Hearts} kept him in front from there and he doubled up. Karr was left with under 10,000 in chips.
