After Eights

After getting very short stacked, Edward Carroll has managed to double up through the big stack of James Calderaro. Carroll raised, only to be put all in by Calderaro. He made the call all in with {8-Hearts} {8-Clubs} and was racing against {A-Diamonds} {K-Hearts}.

The board came {8-Spades} {7-Spades} {10-Clubs} {6-Diamonds} {5-Hearts}. A very pretty eight on the flop was enough to see Carroll up to 15,000. Calderaro still strong on 118,000.
