Battle of the "Kara": Only One Will Survive
Level 2
: 100/200, 25 ante
With around 17,000 in the pot and a flop of 
, Australian pro Jonathan Karamalikis checked from the under-the-gun position and Georgios Karakousis bet 11,000 from the hijack. The button thought long and hard before folding, and then Karamalikis sprung to life with an all-in check-raise. Karakousis wasted little time in calling off and the cards were turned up.
Karakousis: 
Karamalikis: 
Both players held overpairs to the board, but of course Karamalikis' was best. Karakousis seemed irritated, slapped his cards down, and then stood up and began to leave. He paused long enough to look back as the dealer put out the 
and 
on the turn and river respectively, and then Karakousis promptly stormed out of the room.
