Karmatckii Shows Two Aces
Level 16
: 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Action was three ways on a flop of 
with Arsenii Karmatckii first to act in early position. He checked to Sam Grafton in middle position, who bet 10,500. Action was then on Nazim Shala, who was on the button and folded. Karmatckii then called.
The turn came 
and Shala checked. Grafton thought for a few moments and checked behind, bringing the river 
. Karmatckii checked again and Grafton wasted no time tapping the felt to check behind and take the hand to showdown.
Karmatckii tabled 
for two pair, aces and kings, good to earn him the pot as Grafton sent his cards to the center of the table in a face-down manner.
