Couldn't quite make out all the action, but on the turn of a board, Paul Carr bet a monstrous one million, which was more than enough to pick up the pot.
Phil Carr had limped the button, before calling a bet from James Mitchell. Then, on the flop, fireworks, as Mitchell check-raised all in only to be snap-called by Carr.
James Mitchell opened to 130,000 before Paul Carr reraised to 550,000 one more. Mitchell shoved and Carr called instantly.
Mitchell:
Carr:
The board came giving Mitchell the nut flush draw but then the river was the and Carr's rail went ballistic thinking he'd won. But Mitchell had rivered the nut flush and doubles up to about 4,600,000 and more importantly the chip lead.
Paul Carr raised to 135,000 and James Mitchell called.
Both checked the flop before Mitchell fired 165,000 on the turn and 270,000 on the river. Carr quickly called both bets and showed but lost out to Mitchell's .
With the board reading , Jamie Mitchell bet 155,000 and Paul Carr grabbed a chunk of black chips and shoved 550,000 across the line. Mitchell folded.
This has been the pattern of events heads-up, Carr using his chips to push his opponent around, overbetting pots and putting opponents to the test for what will ultimately be their entire stack. So far, it seems to be working.
