One Move for Karlins

Aaron Thivyanathan raised from under the gun and was called by the button and Marv Karlins in the big blind. The flop came and Karlins checked to Thivyanathan who continued for 6,500. The button called and Karlins slid in his stack of T5,000 chips for a raise to 60,000.

Thivyanathan thought for a minute, contemplating whether he wanted to put in the rest of his chips or not, but soon elected to fold. The button did the same and Karlins slid his cards face down as he dragged in the pot.

In the next hand, the cutoff limped in and Phi Nguyen raised to 7,000 on the button. Karlins announced all in from the small blind which quickly got rid of all his opponents. This time, Karlins decided to show the pocket kings he was holding.
