Pons Doubles Through Karr to Take the Chip Lead

With around 20,000 in the pot and a flop of {Q-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}, Anthony Pons checked and opened the door for McLean Karr to bet 7,800. Pons responded with a check-raise to 7,800, and after asking for a count, Karr moved all in. Pons snap-called off for 54,700 and Karr knew he was in trouble.

Showdown
Karr: {A-Hearts}{5-Hearts}
Pons: {6-Spades}{6-Hearts}

"I should have just raised and then I could have gotten away from it," Karr said aloud. "I didn't think he'd raise a set so big." Karr was in bad shape, but the {4-Hearts} turn did give him a flush draw. Unfortunately for him, the {5-Spades} river was no help.
