Marvin “Duckman” Karlins busted holding his famed pocket deuces just moments ago. According to the table, the cutoff limped and Karlins open-jammed for about 300,000. It folded to Flight E chip leader Parm Mehmi and she called.

Mehmi: TxTx
Karlins: 2x2x

Sure enough, Karlins held the signature pocket twos, but needed a lot of help if he wanted to stay alive. Unfortunately, the board ran out bricks and Karlins was eliminated 38th for $1,536. Mehmi raked the pot and became the first player to crack the 1,000,000 mark. She holds 1,390,000.
