Karkan Now 1-1 in Lifetime Poker Tournaments

Level 22
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Mohammadreza Karkan sneaked into the money in what he says is the first real live tournament he's every played, having earned his seat in a qualifier.
Having guaranteed his payday, he moved all in for 125,000 in early position, Ilia Korliakov reshoved in middle position, and the rest of the table folded.
Mohammadreza Karkan: 9?6?
Ilia Korliakov: Q?Q?
"How about nine-nine-nine," Karkan said. He caught one nine on the 9?2?4? flop as a collective "whoa" arose from the table, but he improved no further on the 10? turn and 3? river as he was sent to the payout desk.
