Carrera Finds a Six to Crack Jackson's Cowboys
Level 9
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Tommaso Castellano opened to 2,400 from under the gun and Rolando Carrera shoved almost 30,000 from the cutoff. Ben Jackson was in the small blind and committed his stack of around 65,000, which got Castellano to reluctantly fold.
Rolando Carrera: 6♠6♣
Ben Jackson: K♥K♦
Castellano seemed to be asking for no ace to come, which implies he folded one. Carrera was in dire need of a six, and found one as the Q♣5♦6♥ flop propelled him into the lead. Jackson had two shots at two outs, but couldn't find either of them as the 7♠Q♥ runout meant Carrera doubled up.
