Carson Cruises To Another Double

Mickey Doft

Lucky man

Russell Carson raised to 260,000 on the button and Allan Bække raised to 1,000,000 from the big blind. Carson shoved and Bække called. Hands face up please!

Carson: {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

{K-Clubs}

Bække:

{5-Diamonds}

{5-Spades}

The flop was thrilling, coming out {3-Clubs}

{3-Clubs}

{2-Clubs}

{7-Hearts}

and making Carson a slight favorite to win the hand. It was nearly over on the {K-Spades}

{K-Spades}

turn when Carson paired up, leaving Bække just one out to end the tournament. Instead, the {Q-Clubs}

{Q-Clubs}

hit the river and Carson doubled up to 6.6 million.
