Dong Plateaus

One of Australia's most successful online players, Jonathan "xMONSTERxDONGx" Karamalikis has been starting to get active here but struggling to build his chip stack on Day 2b.

With a limper in front of him, Karamalikis raised it up to 2,500 from the cutoff, before the button raised it to 6,000. The limper folded and Karamalikis made the call.

The flop landed {3-Spades}{8-Spades}{6-Hearts}. Karamalikis checked and his opponent moved all in for around 18,000 with Karamalikis insta-folding.

A few hands later Karamalikis opened the action with a raise to 1,500 from under the gun. A middle position player made it 4,200 and when play folded back to Karamalikis he made it 15,000 to go. His opponent moved all in and Karamalikis quickly called for most of his chips.

Karamalikis tabled {A-Diamonds}{K-Spades} but his opponent revealed {A-Clubs}{K-Clubs} for the same hand and they chopped it up on a board of {3-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}.

The "Dong" is still stuck on around 65,000 chips.
