Level 6
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
The hand was already underway with three players involved. Joshua Calderon was all-in for 3,100 from the cutoff, and action was on Gregory Carlin, who made the call, putting Calderon’s tournament life at risk. Ryan Darby, in the hijack, also called, taking the trio to the flop.
Both Carlin and Darby checked the 7♣2♥J♥ flop and again on the 4♣ turn. On the 7♦ river, Carlin checked a final time, but Darby seized the moment and fired 15,000, forcing Carlin to fold.
Calderon tabled A♣J♠, good for top pair, and Darby instantly mucked. However, Michael Baily at the table, after a quick apology, reminded him to show his hand. Darby revealed A♦6♦.
