Karmeham Flops a Straight to Eliminate Felson

Livello 10 : 160/320, 40 ante

Benjamin "MrLarryDavid" Felson opened to 1,260 from late position, leaving only 678 behind. Namasivayam ”pkrkar” Karmeham called from the button and the blinds got out of the way leaving action heads up going into the flop.

Felson stuck in the last of his chips on the 6♥2♠3♣ flop and Karmeham instantly called to put Felson at risk.

Benjamin "MrLarryDavid" Felson: A♣A♥
Namasivayam ”pkrkar” Karmeham: 4♦5♥

Karmeham's flopped straight left Felson drawing close to dead with pocket rockets. The 4♠ turn and A♠ river offered no help to Felson despite rivering the set and he was knocked out of the tournament. Felson would rebuy shortly after
