Carbo Takes From Bouquet
Level 4
: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Gerard Carbo opened the action from under the gun to 800 and only Rui Bouquet made the call in the big blind.

Bouquet elected to lead out for 3,000 and without much thought, Carbo made the call. Bouquet tabled J♦8♣ for two-pair but was no good when Carbo revealed 4♣3♣ for a rivered full house to score the pot.
