Mahonen's Two Pair Sends Out Karakus
Level 14
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Three players saw the K♥9♥8♣ flop and Jari Mahonen led for 5,000 into the pot of about 12,000 from the small blind. Harun Karakus was in the big blind and jammed for about 37,000, forcing Rehman Kassam to quickly fold and Mahonen snap-called.
Harun Karakus: K♠5♥ 
Jari Mahonen: 9♣8♥
Mahonen flopped bottom two pair against Karakus’s top pair and the A♣ turn and Q♠ river meant Karakus was headed to the exit.
