Carter Moving Up

Allen Carter opened the pot with a raise to 2,500 and was called by a player in late position as well as the player in the big blind. The flop was {k-Diamonds} {6-Spades} {7-Clubs} and after the player first to act checked, Carter continued for 3,100. The third player in the hand made the call while the player in the big blind folded.

The turn was the {7-Spades} and this time Carter bet 5,400. Once again, his opponent made the call. The river brought the {9-Diamonds} and after some toying with his chips, Carter flung out two pink 5,000 chips. His opponent mulled over his decision a bit before sliding his cards to the dealer.
