Carlton Crashes on a Coinflip

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Donald Carlton has departed the tournament, the cause of his demise largely a gigantic coinflip.

David Orvis raised to 3,600 and Anthony Nowalany made it 12,200. Not to be outdone, Carlton made it all in for 58,000; Orvis called all in for 57,000 and Nowalany got out of the way.

Orvis: {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

{K-Hearts}

Carlton:

{Q-Hearts}

{Q-Spades}

Board:

{A-Diamonds}

{5-Clubs}

{5-Spades}

{2-Spades}

{3-Diamonds}

Down to a twice-the-ante 1,000 or so, Carlton went all in from the small blind with two callers. Jason Young took the pot with A-6 on a Q-J-A-10-10 board, Carlton and the other player both mucked, and Carlton made his way to the cash desk.
