Carroll Catches A Jack To Survive

Ever since he was crippled a couple of hours ago, James Carroll has been grinding his short stack. Carroll was down to 20,000 when we caught this hand. He open shipped in early position, and it folded to the cutoff, who called after he got a count. The blinds folded, and the cards were flipped.

Carroll: {a-Hearts}{j-Spades}
Opponent: {a-Spades}{q-Hearts}

Carroll was well behind, but he shot out to a big lead, when the flop came out {8-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}. The turn didn't change anything, coming the {8-Hearts}, and the river brought the {k-Clubs}. Carroll is still relatively short, but is still kicking, with around 45,000.
