Carroll's Snowmen Melt Away Reichard's Chip Lead
Level 42
: Blinds 1,200,000/2,400,000, 2,400,000 ante
In the first hand after the break, Josh Reichard shoved and James Carroll quickly called for his stack of 62,600,000.
James Carroll: 8♦8♣ 
Josh Reichard: A♠6♠
Carroll had the Snowmen, and found a third on the 8♠3♥J♦ flop, improving him to a set. The 3♠ on the turn gave Carroll an unbeatable full house, though some of Reichard's rail momentarily thought his flush draw was good. The meaningless K♣ hit the river, and Carroll stormed into the chip lead.
