Carson Cruises To Another Double
Carson:
Bække:
The flop was thrilling, coming out and making Carson a slight favorite to win the hand. It was nearly over on the turn when Carson paired up, leaving Bække just one out to end the tournament. Instead, the hit the river and Carson doubled up to 6.6 million.
Carson Takes One
The flop came down and Carson check-called 275,000. The turn card and river card were checked. Carson showed and he won the pot.
Hopes of Big Action Raised, Dashed
Flop:
Bække bet out an amount we sadly couldn't quite make, but the raise from Carson was to 1.1 million. Call. Suddenly the hand got interesting.
Disappointingly, though, they checked down the turn and river, and Carson flipped for a straight draw that hadn't come in. Bække's for two pair was good, and he picked up the healthy 2.7 million pot.
Carson Not Going Quietly
Bække called and the flop came and Carson bet 800,000. Bække gave it up and Carson took it down.
Carson Likes the River
Flop:
Carson check-called a 300,000 bet from Bække and they proceeded.
Turn:
Both players checked, and everyone got to see a river too.
River:
Carson now bet out 350,00 - and after just a moment, Bække gave it up.

Russell Carson Eliminated in 2nd Place (€296,000)
First hand back, Russell Carson opened on the button and it looked like Bække reraised, only for Carson to shove; the cards were on their backs almost immediately.

Board:
Carson was drawing dead on the flop, and the plucky Canadian could not manage another double up.
Ladies and gentlemen, we have a winner.
