Karam Flops a Full House, Khvan Gets Off Lightly
Level 8
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
On a board of 4?9?4?10? with around 8,000 chips in the middle, Alexandr Khvan had fired 3,000 and Ramzi Karam raised to 12,000. Umberto Ruggeri got out of the way, and Khvan put in the call.
A 10? double-paired the board on the river and Khvan led out for 10,000, which got a quick call out of Karam.
Khvan showed 4?2? for a full house, but Karam had a bigger boat with 9?9?, and will surely be frustrated at that river card.
