Carlson Finds His Hearts

Mick Carlson had just arrived at Table 376 and didn't take long to make his presence felt. In one of the first few hands since arriving he was acting after a raise to 9,100 from the cutoff that was followed by a raise to 20,000 from the button. Carlson was in the big blind and announced he was all in for about 180,000. The player in the cutoff folded, but the player on the button did not.

Carlson: {a-Hearts}{q-Hearts}
Button: {a-Diamonds}{q-Spades}

It looked like we were headed to a chopped pot when the flop came down {8-Spades}{k-Spades}{k-Hearts}, but Carlson picked up a flush draw with the {j-Hearts} on the turn. His friends called for a heart from the rail and the dealer delivered with the {4-Hearts} on the river.

Carlson had his opponent covered and now has about 250,000 chips.
