Karrim Out for Now; Steenkamp Chips Up
Level 6
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Ahmed Karrim was eliminated when he and his opponent held straight draws on a jack-ten high board and Q♥8♣ was out-kicked by Q♣9♠.
One table over, Jarred Solomon bet the J♦8♠8♣ flop for 1,500 from under the gun and Darick Steenkamp raised to 2,600 on the button before the min-raise to 3,000 was corrected. Solomon called and checked the 5♣ turn, then check-called a bet of 1,500.
Both checked the 5♥ river as Steenkamp said "check is free" and Solomon showed 9♥9♦, which Steenkamp had beat with the K♦J♥.
"I burned myself yesterday when I didn't check behind," Steenkamp iterated.
