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-Spades}

{8-Diamonds}

and must have been pleased to see the short stack turn over {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

{5-Hearts}

, but Carroll was promptly smacked in the face by the {3-Clubs}

{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}

{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}

{7-Hearts}

turn. Come the {J-Spades}

{J-Spades}

river Carroll moved in and Hamrick called that too -- fair enough, seeing as he was holding {7-Spades}

{7-Spades}

{7-Diamonds}

for quads. Carroll's {K-Hearts}

{K-Hearts}

{J-Diamonds}

had been behind all the way, and out he went, while Hamrick was up to 275,000.
