Carroll Eliminated in Nasty Cooler
Level 10
: 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
James Carroll was pushing all in for around 100,000 and being snap-called when he arrived to the table. The board read 
, and Carroll, from the button, turned up 
for a boat. His opponent in the big blind, Brian Heeb, had 
for kings full, however.
"Sick," said Heeb with a shake of the head.
The dealer counted out Heeb's stack and it was about 108,000, barely covering Carroll. The champ of the last MSPT event here at Venetian has been sent packing.
