Dandrea Doubles Through Karambinis

Kevin Taylor

Level 11 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

We caught up with the action on the flop, which read . Raymond Dandrea and Chris Karambinis were heads up, and Karambinis checked to Dandrea, who fired out 3,500. Karambinis responded with a check raise to 8,000, and it was back on Dandrea.

After about 15 seconds of thought, he announced "raise", and threw out a bet of 14,500. As soon as the bet was place, Karambinis took some chips off his stack of yellow T5,000 chips, grabbed those chips, and dropped them into the middle, moving Dandrea all in.

This caused Dandrea to sit back in his chair, letting out a deep breath in the process. However, after only about 10 seconds of tanking, he announced "call".

Dandrea:
Karambinis:

It was a great call by Dandrea, and he was rewarded for it, as the board completed and , giving him an unnecessary full house. Dandrea collected a pile of chips in the pot, doubling him up to 119,000, while Karambinis dropped down to 54,000.
