Karp Runs Into Aces
Level 4
: Blinds 300/500, 500 ante
Under the gun, Herbert Karp opened to 1,200, and was raised by another player in middle position to 3,000. After Kenny Hallaert folded his big blind, Karp called to see the flop J♦4♥4♦.
On this first street, Karp check-called when his opponent made a continuation bet of 2,500. Then on the turn 2♦, both players checked.
The Q♣ came on the river. Karp checked again, and his opponent bet 6,000. After a few seconds, Karp called. But there was nothing he could do against the winning hand A♠A♦.
