Karp Wins Race Against Bell

Mickey Doft

Steve Karp opened to 500 from the hijack and was met with calls from Lee Childs on the button and the player in the small blind. Chris Bell, from the big blind, three-bet to 2,200. Karp wasn't going anywhere as he four-bet to 5,100. Childs and the small blind kicked it in, putting the action back on Bell. A five-bet to 15,100 ensued with Karp committing the rest of his stack - 17,575 to make it six bets.

"Ace-king," said Bell while sliding in the calling chips.

"Good, didn't feel like aces or kings," replied Karp.
