Carlson Gets There on the River

Peter Dufek had made a raise to 100,000 from the cutoff and Mick Carlson defended his big blind, making the call.

The flop was {9-Spades}{9-Hearts}{10-Spades} and Carlson check-called a bet of 100,000. Both players checked the {3-Clubs} on the turn. The river was the {k-Clubs} and Carlson made a bet of 250,000. Dufek called, but didn't look happy about it.

If Dufek was unhappy before making the call, he was extremely unhappy afterwards. Carlson showed {q-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds} for a rivered straight and Dufek mucked.

The pot put Carlson up into second place with close to 2,000,000 chips. Dufek, however, has slipped to 1,500,000 and is in third.
