Carroll Makes a Big Call

Level 8 : 400/800, 800 ante

On a {5-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{k-Clubs} flop, James Carroll was on the button and faced a bet of 3,500, about half the pot, out of the hijack. He called, bringing a {7-Spades}. The hijack bet 7,500 this time and Carroll stuck around for the {q-Clubs}. The hijack quickly set him in for 17,700.

Carroll went deep into the tank, apologizing after a couple of minutes. He then dropped in a stack of chips and the hijack mucked what the dealer revealed to be {j-Spades}{9-Hearts}. Carroll took it with {k-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}.
