Rotten to the Cory

Carroll - smacked into quads
Carroll - smacked into quads
Cory Carroll, one of yesterday's big stacks, is down to 75,000. After losing a big pot earlier on with pocket tens, he called a short stack's preflop push holding pocket {8-Spades} {8-Diamonds} and must have been pleased to see the short stack turn over {A-Hearts} {5-Hearts}, but Carroll was promptly smacked in the face by the {3-Clubs} {A-Diamonds} {9-Spades} {K-Spades} {5-Spades} board, and was down to below average chips.

A few hands later and Carroll raised to 7,200 in early position and Dean Hamrick called to see a {K-Diamonds} {2-Hearts} {7-Clubs} flop. Hamrick called an 8,600 bet from Carroll and indeed called 17,000 from Carroll on the {7-Hearts} turn. Come the {J-Spades} river Carroll moved in and Hamrick called that too -- fair enough, seeing as he was holding {7-Spades} {7-Diamonds} for quads. Carroll's {K-Hearts} {J-Diamonds} had been behind all the way, and out he went, while Hamrick was up to 275,000.
