Kaufman Catches the Turn

Level 26 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Igor Kaufman
Igor Kaufman

Igor Kaufman limped from the small blind and Dionysios Kartsampas checked his big blind option to the JA3 flop.

Kaufman checked to Kartsampas, who slid out a bet of 200,000. Kaufman then asked for a count of his opponent's remaining stack before raising enough to put Kartsampas all in.

After counting out his remaining 1,450,000 chips and taking a few minutes in the tank, Kartsampas made the call.

Dionysios Kartsampas: AQ
Igor Kaufman: A10

Kartsampas was in front but needed to dodge plenty of cards. The 10 was one of those, as Kaufman connected for two pair. The 7 was no help to Kartsampas, who wished everyone good luck on his way out of the tournament room.
