Karam Kicks Out Shelukhin
Level 9
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
A significant 28,000 was in the middle between Ramzi Karam in the under the gun position and Alexander Shelukhin on the button. The completed board read 3?A?Q?9?10? and Shelukhin made a bet of 21,000 after a check from Karam. Karam then put the rest of his money in, totaling 60,900.
Shelukhin made the call and the cards went face-up.
Alexander Shelukhin: A?5?
Ramzi Karam: A?10?
Both players had a pair of aces, but Karam had a pair of tens to go with that as well. After the dealers counted both players' stacks, it was determined that Karam covered Shelukhin by 200 chips. Thus, this hand resulted in his elimination from the tournament.
