Charlie Carrel

Charlie Carrel moved all in from under the gun for around 15 big blinds. It folded to Timothy Adams in the big blind who called.

Charlie Carrel: {a-Clubs}{2-Spades}
Timothy Adams: {7-Spades}{7-Diamonds}

The flop {4-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{5-Spades} gave Carrel outs to a wheel, but the {8-Spades} reduced those with Adams picking up a flush draw. The sevens held when the river {q-Clubs} was dealt and Carrel was eliminated in fourth place.

Adams Keeps on Coming

Level 19 : 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Timothy Adams is really trying to get this tournament finished sooner rather than later. This time, on a {10-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{a-Spades}{6-Hearts} board, Adams bet 525,000 and opponent Charlie Carrel thought before calling.

Adams turned over {j-Diamonds}{6-Spades} for a rivered two pair and Carrel mucked his hand.
