Puertas Cracks Karatas
Level 23
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Dennis Schaefer opened to 40,000 under the gun, and received a call from Giorgio Silva on the button, before Sarhabib Karatas three-bet jammed for around 200,000.
Jose Puertas was in the big blind, and he took a moment for thought before rejamming for around 500,000, forcing Schaefer and Silva to get out of the way.
Sarhabib Karatas: J♦J♥ 
Jose Puertas: A♣Q♥
It was off to the races, but Puertas found second pair on the K♣Q♠3♥ flop, and Karatas could not reverse the position on the 6♣ turn or 5♥ river.
