It all started with a raise to 12,000 from an early position player. An older gentleman in Seat 4 reraised to 30,000 and Keith Carter flatted two seats to his left. It was folded back to the original raiser who made the call.
The flop came 
and the early position player quickly checked as did the player in Seat 4. Carter bet 54,000 leading to a fold from the early position player and a quick call from the player in Seat 4.
The turn was the
