Karam Gets the Maximum
Level 12
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Ramzi Karam raised from under the gun, receiving calls from Alexandr Khvan and Alexandre Reard, in the respective blinds.
The A♥4♥J♣ flop saw the action check to Karam, who continued for 4,500. Only Khvan called.
The 2♦ turn saw a repeat of the action, this time Karam sized up to 23,000.
The 9♣ river prompted Khvan to play out of flow, leading for a small wager of 10,000. Karam moved all in for Khvan's effective stack of approximately 60,000 and Khvan went deep into the tank, eventually making the call for his tournament life.
Alexandr Khvan: A♣K♣ 
Ramzi Karam: A♠A♦
Khvan was on the wrong side of this cooler, sending him to the rail.
