Carlson Doubles through Formosa

[user38449]

Wayne Carlson just earned a bit of extra breathing room after winning a race to double up, courtesy of former chip leader David Formosa.

Carlson opened the pot with a raise to 100,000 from the cutoff, Formosa reraised enough to put Carlson all in and a call was made:

Carlson: {K-Spades}

{K-Spades}

{Q-Clubs}

Formosa:

{J-Diamonds}

{J-Clubs}

The board then filled out {Q-Diamonds}

{Q-Diamonds}

{2-Diamonds}

{5-Clubs}

{8-Spades}

{7-Diamonds}

and Carlson took down the pot with a pair of queens.

After the hand, Formosa dropped to right around one million in chips while Carlson improved to 650,000.
