Carneiro Runs Into Cowboys
Level 12
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Joao Carneiro raised to 4,000 in middle position before calling when Ayvar Akhmedov three-bet to 9,500 from the small blind.
Akhmedov continued for 8,500 on a J♠5♣8♦ flop, which Carneiro called. Akhmedov then checked on the 8♠ turn, prompting Carneiro to take over the betting lead, putting 10,000 into the middle. Akhmedov moved all-in, asking Carneiro to put his stack of roughly 44,500 at risk, and Carneiro obliged, making the call.
Joao Carneiro: A♥J♣
Ayvar Akhmedov: K♠K♣
There was no help waiting for Carneiro on the river, as the 5♦ completed the board, sending him to the rail.
