Level 9
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
The action was picked up on a board of K♥J♥3♦5♠2♠ with 29,600 in the pot. Michel Karim in the cutoff moved all in for 37,200, and Ritvars Cekalins, in the small blind, was trying to make a decision.
Cekalins used several time bank extensions, and eventually made the call.
Michel Karim: A♥4♥
Ritvars Cekalins: K♦10♥
Cekalins called with top pair, but ran into Karim's runner-runner straight which allowed him to double up.
