Karlic Drills the River to Double
Level 25
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Jonas Lauck made it 160,000 from the hijack before Gerald Karlic three-bet jammed for 980,000 from the button. Lauck called when the action got back to him.
Gerald Karlic: A♣8♦
Jonas Lauck: 9♥9♦
Karlic was in rough shape against the pocket nines of Lauck and needed to find an ace to survive.
The dealer produced a runout of 7♣8♠6♦4♠A♦ to give Karlic an ace on the river to win the pot, and doubled up through Lauck.
