Caro Wins Back-To-Back Pots for Stacks

Level 14 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Justin Caro
Justin Caro

Hand #1: A short-stacked player opened to 11,000 in middle position and Justin Caro re-jammed from the hijack. Action folded back to the original opener and he called all in for 41,000.

All-In Player: {6-Clubs}{6-Hearts}
Justin Caro: {9-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}

No six came on a runout of {j-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{a-Hearts}{q-Clubs}{7-Spades} and Caro earned the pot and the knockout.

Hand #2: On the very next hand, Caro opened to 8,000 and received calls from both blinds, one of which was Mike Hassab. The flop came {j-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} and Mike Hassab check-raised Caro's continuation-bet, with Caro three-betting to 90,000. Hassab then announced he was all in and Caro said he had to call.

Mike Hassab: {a-Diamonds}{k-Spades}
Justin Caro: {k-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}

Caro faded the ace as the turn {8-Clubs} and river {10-Clubs} completed the runout. Stacks were counted with Caro having 139,000 behind, and Hassab found himself with just 6,000 after paying what he owed.
