Khoueis's Aces Hold Up to Clip Karamilikis

Level 11 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Sam Khoueis was all in before the flop for 77,500 after Jonathan Karamilikis moved all in for 89,500. Gary Benson was in the tank as the last player to act before he finally folded, leaving Khoueis and Karamilikis heads up.

Sam Khoueis: {A-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}
Jonathan Karamilikis: {Q-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}

"Is that any good?" Khoueis asked, showing his aces.

Karamilikis needed help to take down the pot, but he couldn't find it as the board rolled out {K-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{8-Spades}{6-Clubs}. With that, Khoueis earned a full double to right around 180,000 while Karamilikis was left with just 7,000 chips.
