Archie Karas Makes Late Flush

Archie Karas Will Be Back on Day 2b
Archie Karas Will Be Back on Day 2b
A player raised it up from under the gun, with two players, including Archie "The Greek" Karas, making the call.

They saw a flop of {J-Hearts}{9-Spades}{2-Clubs} and the action checked around. The turn was the {10-Clubs} and the UTG player fired 4,000 with both opponents making the call. The river was the {9-Clubs} and the UTG checked, before the player in the cutoff moved all in. Karas made the call for his tournament life as the UTG folded.

The cutoff player showed {A-Clubs}{8-Spades} for nothing but ambition as Karas flipped {8-Clubs}{5-Clubs} for a running flush. Karas will finish the day with close to 40,000 in chips!
