Carr Finds Double Amongst Pre-Bubble Bustout Bonanza

Level 17 : Blinds 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante
Paul Carr
Paul Carr

The field has shrunk significantly after the dinner break, with now 329 players remaining. Paul Carr was one of the many players who found the courage to wager all of their chips after they had filled their bellies with some fuel.

He raised all-in to 80,000 from the button. Karl Hedderman was in the big blind and, after getting an approximation of Carr's stack, made the call.

Paul Carr: {a-Spades}{9-Diamonds}
Karl Hedderman: {a-Clubs}{q-Spades}

After the flop of {3-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{2-Clubs} Carr employed the infamous stand up trick. The turn {5-Diamonds} fell whilst he stood up, put his coat on, and let out a big sigh.

When the river {9-Hearts} hit, Carr let out an audible ''Oh my God'', and quickly sat back down to collect his now doubled stack.
