Karamalikis KO's Another

Level 8 : 200/400, 50 ante

After raising to 1,000 from under-the-gun and picking up a caller in the hijack, Jonathan Karamalikis watched as the player in the small blind shoved all-in for his last 11,000 chips. The online phenom from Australia made the quick call, showed down his {9-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} and was racing against the {J-Spades}{K-Diamonds} held by the small blind.

The flop of {Q-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}{Q-Spades} delivered three face cards, but none were dangerous for Karamalikis' hand. He now needed to dodge the case queen, a king, or a jack to win the pot.

Turn: {4-Clubs}
River: {A-Clubs}

With that, the Aussie known "Monster_Dong" in the online community eliminated a player from Day 1 and padded his stack to over 55,000 chips as we head to break.
