Karnaos Beats Bonita's Queens to Double

We found Alexandros Karnaos all in preflop for 228,000 and at risk against Chris Bonita.

Bonita: {Q-Spades}{Q-Clubs}
Karnaos: {K-Spades}{10-Diamonds}

The ESPN camera crew came over to start filming and the flop came down {K-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} to give Karnaos the lead with top two and he gave a big “YES!” along with a fist pump. Another player asked for a jack or an ace for a sweat on the turn but it came the {4-Diamonds} and Bonita would need one of the two remaining queens to eliminate Karnaos. The river was the {8-Diamonds} and Karnaos secured his double up.
