Carodenuto Doubles Again

Level 24 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante

DJ Buckley made it 60,000 and got called by Carl Carodenuto and Cameron Leibfried in the blinds.

The {7-Spades}{6-Spades}{5-Spades} flop was checked to Buckley and he made it 200,000. Carodenuto shipped it in for a little more and after a Leibfried fold, Buckley called with the {8-Clubs}{8-Spades}.

Carodenuto had the {a-Clubs}{a-Spades} and aces miraculously held on the {k-Diamonds}{j-Clubs} run out.

Carl Carodenuto
Carl Carodenuto

Kirby Rogers led out for 50,000 and Carl Carodenuto tank-shoved the big blind for 230,000.

Rogers called instantly with the {2-Clubs}{2-Hearts}, but was miles behind Carodenuto's {q-Clubs}{q-Spades}.

The board ran out {4-Clubs}{a-Spades}{10-Clubs}{9-Spades}{j-Spades} giving Carodenuto the double up.

The Leaders Emerge

Level 23 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante
Saad Ghanem
Saad Ghanem

Jeremy Dresch three-bet preflop and Saad Ghanem four-bet. Dresch called, setting up a massive heads-up confrontation.

Ghanem checked the {4-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{9-Spades} flop, but when Dresch bet, he jammed all in. Dresch folded and Ghanem showed two aces, moving up to two million in chips.

In the meantime, Kirby Rogers busted both Justin Thurlow and John Hayes, making a straight to best Thurlow's ace-high and holding with king's against Hayes'.

He's now got 1.7 million and it's these two that hold the lead.
