Biggest Pot of the Day to Carlson

Brett Slezak
Brett Slezak
Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Action picked up with tons of chips finding their way into the middle preflop. Christopher Carlson had four-bet to 47,800 on the button, and he was called by both Sam Soverel from the big blind and Jason Mercier from the cutoff.

On the 9♥8♣6♥ flop, Soverel put his final 23,000 into the middle, Mercier committed his last 2,800, and Carlson called covering.

Jason Mercier: 4♦3♣2♦2♣ All in
Sam Soverel: A♣J♠9♠4♣ All in
Christopher Carlson: A♠A♥10♠4♠

Carlson had bare aces without any backup, while Mercier had the best low draw, and Soverel flopped a pair with backdoor high potential.

Incredibly, the board ran out Q♠K♥, and the lone pair of aces were good enough to scoop, and Carlson dragged a massive one.
