Karr Crashes

We saw McLean Karr in the hallway and asked how he was doing. "I'm out," he replied, "I got it in with the nuts."

Karr's tale of woe began when he raised to 350 from the hijack and the button three-bet to 900. The small blind flatted, Karr called the additional 550, and three players saw a flop of {9-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{3-Spades}. The small blind was first to act and led out for 1,325, both Karr and the button called, and the {10-Clubs} hit the turn.

The small blind led out for a big pot-sized bet, and Karr responded by moving all in. The button got out of the way and the small blind snap-called.

Showdown
Karr: {J-Spades}{8-Spades}
Small Blind: {10-}{10-}

Karr had turned the nuts, but the small blind hit a set and could still win if the board paired. That's exactly what happened when the {7-} peeled off on the river. With that, Karr's EPT Sanremo Main Event came to an end in Level 2.
