Karapanos and Rocha Hit a Hollywood Board
Level 16
: 3,000/6,000, 0 ante
Alex Rocha made it 13,000 in the hijack, earning a call from small blind Dario Sammartino. Michail Karapanos squeezed to 55,000 out of the big blind and Rocha moved all in. Sammartino escaped while Karapanos called for his 99,500.

The dealer rolled out a flop of , giving a full house to both players. Karapanos had the top boat so Rocha's kings full were trailing. Rocha, however, still had a chance to seize the pot should he spike the fourth king in the deck or a queen of clubs for a royal flush.
He wouldn't get there on the turn and river, however, and Karapanos' aces held.
