"I'm Gonna Gamble"

It seems every time we make our way to Kyle Cartwright's table he is driving the action. In a recent hand, action folded to Cartwright on the button and he put in a raise to 7,500. The small blind wasted little time in moving all in for 28,500 more, the big blind folded, and action was back on Cartwright.

He took his time counting out his chips to see how much he'd have left if he were to call and lose. "I'm gonna gamble," Cartwright said before putting in the chips.

Cartwright: {10-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}
Small Blind: {A-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}

Cartwright could only shake his head when he discovered he shared the six with his opponent. The {3-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} flop wasn't much help to Cartwright, but the {2-Diamonds} turn gave him a flush draw. There is little doubt that Cartwright has been playing and running well in 2011, which was evidenced by the {7-Diamonds} on the river. Cartwright had hit his flush to steal the pot, increasing his stack to 190,000 in the process.
