Johan Karlsson moved all-in from under the gun with pocket sixes, only to run straight into the pocket kings of chip leader Saara Benlamine in the small blind.
Johan Karlsson: 6♠6♣
Saara Benlamine: K♠K♣
With Benlamine not only holding the superior hand but also covering both of Karlsson’s suits, things were looking grim for him. It seemed like Benlamine was about to extend her lead, but Lady Fortuna had other plans.
The dealer opened a flop of 6♥2♥Q♠, and just like that, Karlsson found one of the two sixes left in the deck to vault into the lead. The turn and river brought no help for Benlamine, securing Karlsson a much-needed double-up.
Johan Karlsson – 62,400
Saara Benlamine – 59,000
