Cowboy Up

It hasn't been all bad news for the players we've had our eyes on in the Amazon Room today. Johnny Caruso recently reraised a lone opponent preflop to 5,200 after that opponent raised to 1,100. The opponent put Caruso to the test by pushing for over 25,000, but Caruso was up to the task and made the call with {K-Hearts} {K-Clubs}. His opponent had {A-Diamonds} {K-Diamonds} and couldn't find any way to connect with a board that ran out queen high.

After the hand, Caruso doubled up to 55,000.
