All the chips went in on an {A-Hearts}

{9-Diamonds}

flop, Bob Yamaguchi holding {A-?}

{A-?}

{Q-?}

for top two pair and Mike Carson {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{J-Diamonds}

for the nut flush draw. Carson hit it on the turn when the {2-Diamonds}

{2-Diamonds}

came down, and Yamaguchi couldn't boat up on the {7-Spades}

{7-Spades}

river. That hand took Carson up to 420,000 in chips.

On the next hand Carson opened for 24,000, Yamaguchi moved all in and Carson called.

Yamaguchi: {Q-Hearts}

{Q-Hearts}

{Q-Diamonds}

Carson:

The board ran out {A-Spades}

and Carson eliminated Yamaguchi. He's now up to 535,000.
