Berlin Doubles Through Carmody

Action began when Nachman Berlin raised to 100,000. Jacob Naquin got out of the way and Matthew Carmody three-bet to 415,000. Berlin moved his stack in, leaving his cards capped with one orange chip worth 5,000. Carmody announced call so the two players saw a flop without exposing their cards.

The flop came {K-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{J-Clubs} and Carmody tossed in the last 5,000 along with Berlin. Their hands were turned over:

Berlin: {J-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}
Carmody: {Q-Spades}{10-Spades}

Berlin was ahead with a set of jacks, but Carmody had open ended straight outs. The turn came {6-Spades} and the river {Q-Clubs}, failing to fulfill Carmody's straight and doubling Berlin up.
