. McCarrel was at risk and he had some catching up to do with .
The flop was a fun sweat as it came down to give McCarrel an open-ended straight draw to work with. The turn

Bets were exchanged on the subsequent streets as the turn and river fell the 
and to see Kellstrom table his 
for two pair, Miranda his 
for a weaker two pair and Rennhack his 
for just jack high to hit the rail.
