Alsoud Deflates Carbo
Level 29
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Modar Alsoud raised to 200,000 from the hijack and Gerard Carbo defended his big blind.
Carbo check-called for 200,000 on the K♥8♣4♣ flop, bringing in the A♠ turn. Carbo then check-raised to 1,100,000 over a bet of 350,000. Alsoud called.
The J♦ completed the board, and Carbo sized up to 1,650,000. Alsoud thought for a few moments, before making a one chip call.
Carbo confidently turned over A♦8♥ for aces and eights, but he was immediately deflated when Alsoud tabled A♣J♣ for a better two pair.
Carbo had his head in his hands as the pot was shipped to Alsoud.
