Zhang Eliminated; Karamalikis Chips Up

Level 10 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante
Chi Zhang
Chi Zhang

Chi Zhang was left short and got {9-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} in against the {a-Spades}{k-Spades} of Alex Foxen.

The flop came {2-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}{q-Clubs}. "Nine on the river," said Zhang. The turn {a-Diamonds} didn't help and the decidedly un-nine-looking {3-Hearts} came on the river and Zhang was eliminated.

Meanwhile, Jonathan Karamalikis raised to 5,600 and Sam Higgs three-bet to 13,600 from the button. Karamalikis called and the flop came {j-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{9-Clubs}. Karamalikis check-called a bet of 12,800 and the turn {j-Diamonds} was checked by both players.

On the {6-Hearts} river Karamalikis bet 13,600 and Higgs called, but mucked when his opponent showed {8-Spades}{9-Spades} for a pair of nines.
