Carter Spikes the River to Double
Level 10
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Michael Carter opened to 3,500 from middle position and Dallas Whitaker called in the hijack. On the button, Damian Brewster three-bet to 12,500. With the action back on Carter, he four-bet shoved for 45,500. Whitaker got out of the way before Brewster put in the call.
Michael Carter: A♣J♠ 
Damian Brewster: Q♠Q♣
"I had to get it in at some point," explained Carter as he awaited his fate.
The J♣5♠2♣ flop gave Carter more outs but the 8♦ turn offered no help as he stood up from his chair and began to walk away. However, the voodoo tricks seemed to work wonders as the A♦ peeled off on the river as Carter secured the full double.
