In the end, it was a blind vs. blind battle that did Mark Salinaro in.

Steve Karp limped from the small blind and Salinaro shoved from the big blind. When Karp called, they opened their hands and we started racing.

Salinaro {7-Spades}{7-Clubs}
Karp {A-Hearts}{K-Clubs}

A king in the door gave Karp the lead, and Salinaro could never catch up. At the end, the board read {K-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{Q-Spades}{8-Spades}{3-Diamonds}.

Karp now has more than 4 million chips while Salinaro goes home with $193,343.
