With the action on Tom Rafferty in the small blind, he made it 125,000 to go only to have Jonathan Karamalikis three-bet to 300,000 from the big blind.
Rafferty contemplated for a few moments before moving all in, only to have Karamalikis beat him into the pot by screaming call and slamming down his 
like it was two jokers in a game of jokers wild!
Rafferty: 
Karamalikis:
With Karamalikis spot on with his read that he was crushing Rafferty's hand, the

The 
on the turn saw the crowd hush quietly as it was just a dimple away from being the card that would save Rafferty.
Unfortunately for the ninth-place finisher from 2008, the river landed the 
to end his 2010 tournament in 3rd place for a A$161,730 collect as play between Karamalikis and Benjamin McLean are now at the heads up stage.
