Cossette Out-Flips Carron

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

For some of the short stacks, the best they can hope for at this point is a flip. Patrick Carron got his last chips in with {A-Spades}

against Daniel Cossette's pocket queens. A jack-high board didn't improve Carron's hand; he's now on the rail.

Cossette is up to 740,000.

Olivier Busquet raised to 16,000 before Mclean Karr reraised to 40,000. Busquet then four-bet to 100,000 and Karr moved all in for about 525,000. Busquet snap-called him and tabled two red aces.

"Oh my god, oh my god! I just blew up!" yelled out Karr as he rolled over his {K-Clubs}

.

The flop, turn and river ran out {J-Spades}

and Karr was unable to deliver the bad beat to Busquet who raked in the massive pot having Karr covered and moved to nearly 1.2 million chips.
