Racing for Rolls

After a series of raises and reraises, Jarrad Dale got all in for 36,000 chips before the flop. He was matched by Mitchell Carle, who had him covered and thus put Dale's tournament life in jeopardy.

Showdown:
Dale: {J-Hearts} {J-Spades}
Carle: {A-Hearts} {K-Spades}

Racing for a big pot, the two men watched the board run out {Q-Spades} {8-Hearts} {9-Clubs} {3-Clubs} {3-Diamonds}. Dale's horse runs faster, and he wins the race, doubling up to 73,000. Carle, meanwhile, is down to 35,000.
