Pham's Jacks Hold; Carodenuto Sits and Laments
Trung Pham raised to 280,000 in late position and Carl Carodenuto went all in for just over 2,000,000. Pham slammed a call in.
Carl Carodenuto: A♣7♣
Trung Pham: J♠J♦
Carodenuto was drawing thin when the J♣10♦9♠ hit the felt. He picked up some more outs when the 5♣ fell but it wasn't meant to be when the 6♦ completed the board.
Pham reached across the table and extended a fist bump to Carodenuto who accepted it as he nodded his head, coming to terms with the end of his run.
"You think I was supposed to go with that one? I don't really know how you play..."
Pham assured him it was strategically sound.
"Well, I guess it was a pretty good run...."
Eventually the floor let Carodenuto know he was good to go collect his prize money any time before July 26th and off he went.
