Chip and a Chair for Carroll?

Level 10 : 400/800, 100 ante

We caught up with the action just as Michael Carroll went all-in for 1,100 from middle position. The player in the small blind raised to 2,200 and the big blind folded. Carroll stood out of his seat like he was ready to leave, apparently having lost a majority of his chips a few hands earlier.

Carroll was in excellent shape, though, with his {J-}{J-} against his opponent's {10-}{7-}. The board came safely for Carroll and he doubled.

Carroll was down to just 200 chips before making his small comeback to just under 3,000. We'll be keeping an eye on him to see if the old adage, "A chip and a chair," holds true today.
