Caridi's Mistake Becomes a Huge Win

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 100 ante
Giuseppe Caridi
Giuseppe Caridi

Giuseppe Caridi limped in from mid-position, Hanno Offen raised to 3,500 as he was next to act. The player in the cutoff called, so did Branko Samardzic (small blind) and the player in the big blind, and Caridi.

The flop came {Q-Hearts}{J-Hearts}{A-Spades}, Samardzic, the big blind, and Caridi checked. Offen bet 8,200, the cutoff folded, Samardzic called, the big blind folded too. Caridi shoved for 72,000. Offen asked for a count and the dealer confirmed the amount. Offen checked his own stack and realized he would be left with about 13,000 if he lost the hand. He still decided to call. Samardzic folded but showed that he had {Q-}{Q-Clubs}.

Giuseppe Caridi: {K-Spades}{9-Spades}
Hanno Offen: {K-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}

Caridi had misread his hand, he thought he had king-ten too. But instead, he needed a ten to split or hit runner-runner spades to win.

The turn brought them the {8-Spades} and the river completed the drama with the {2-Spades} so Caridi doubled up.
