Carmona's Main Event Comes to an End
Level 20
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Luis Carmona made it 40,000 from the hijack, and Paul Gibbons called from the cutoff before Marc Fiorentino three-bet to 125,000 from the button. Carmona four-bet jammed for 565,000, which prompted Gibbons to move in over the top for around a million. Fiorentino agonized over the decision for quite some time before folding and showing Big Slick to some of his tablemates.
Luis Carmona: A♠Q♠ 
Paul Gibbons: K♥K♣
Since Fiorentino had folded an ace, it looked even more likely that Gibbons' Cowboys were going to hold and eliminate Carmona. The board ran out 10♣10♦6♦5♣J♠, providing no help to Carmona, and he headed to the exit earlier than he had hoped.
