Carpenter Hits Three-Outer to Burst Money Bubble

Level 16 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Cash Carpenter
Cash Carpenter

A few hands into hand-for-hand play, Cash Carpenter open-jammed on the button and the small blind called off with a slightly smaller stack.

Small Blind: AK All in
Cash Carpenter: A10

The small blind was in great shape to double up as he had his opponent dominated, and nothing changed on the flop of 325 other than some chop possibilities. But chop they would not as the 10 turn gave Carpenter the lead before the Q river confirmed the small blind's elimination on the money bubble.

"I have to jam ace-ten there, right? This is my first time!" Carpenter asked a silent table.

Swinger Cracks Aces Full With Royal Flush

Level 11 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Jared Swinger
Jared Swinger

The hand of the tournament took place at Table 31 and undoubtedly left the players wishing they were at a cash table. Jared Swinger was all in preflop for around 40,000 against a player two seats to his left, who had him covered.

Jared Swinger: KJ All in
Opponent: AA

Swinger had run into aces but miraculously flopped the joint as the dealer fanned Q10A to give him Broadway with a redraw to an elusive Royal Flush. Meanwhile, his opponent had flopped a set of aces and was looking for a fourth ace or for the board to pair.

The board did indeed pair on the turn, but it was the single card in the deck the opponent didn't want to see, the 10 to give Swinger a Royal Flush. The K river was a formality and the opponent shook it off and took a breather as Swinger grinned head to toe over his good fortune.
