Karrim Loses Two All-Ins; Wins One
Diane Walker, Ahmed Karrim and Max Deveson limped in. Jehan Richards jammed for 27,000 in the small blind and Karrim was the only caller.
"I have aces," Karrim declared with a sheepish smile on the face. Richards showed his A♥3♥ first and Karrim then exposed the 3♦3♠. "I know you had a three, so it's like aces," he said.
"The hearts will come," Richards replied and the table burst out in laughter when the flop fell K♥J♦4♥. Karrim was hiding the runout from Richards as the rest of the table gasped to build up suspension. The 2♦ turn brought a gutshot and the 5♠ indeed came on the river.
Marc Grune then got it in against Karrim with A♣6♣ versus A♠7♠. They were chopping until the Q♦10♥8♠A♥ turn but the 6♥ river gave Grune the double, too.
Karrim then sucked out with 7♥6♣ against the 10♦9♣ of Alan Jung on a board of Q♠J♠4♣6♠3♥ and avoided losing a third all-in showdown in a row. Jung was left short and busted thereafter.
