$200 NLH "Isle New Year Kickstart" (Flight 1G): Oleg Karpov Benefits From Teitelbaum's Fast Play

"Isle New Year Kickstart"
$200 No Limit Hold'em

$100,000 GTD
Level 6 (Blinds 300/500/500)
Total Flight 1G Entries: 172

Oleg Karpov (Staten Island, NY) just vaulted up the leaderboard, after picking off a bluff from Evan Teitelbaum.

In a tournament such as this, where bagging a big stack is crucial, certain players come in with a mindset of "playing fast."  That was the case for Evan Teitelbaum, who was super active from the moment he sat down at the table.  When we passed Table 6, Evan had just gone all-in for 15,000, on a flop of 8♣ 7 3.  Oleg Karpov was next to act, and with one person behind, he took his time before making the call.  The unknown player behind folded his hand, and the cards were then tabled:

Teitelbaum: K Q♠
Karpov: 7♠ 7♣

Turn: 3
River: 6♠

Karpov was in great shape once the cards found their backs, having flopped a set against Evan's king-high.  The turn did bring outs to a flush for Teitelbaum, but he'd brick the river, and Karpov would scoop the pot.

Oleg Karpov - 85,000 (170bb)
