Carrel's Kings Run Into Greenblatt's Aces

Level 26 : 30,000/60,000, 10,000 ante

Frank Crivello opened to 175,000 from middle position, and Charlie Carrel three-bet to 425,000 from the cutoff. Alexander Greenblatt was in the big blind and four-bet to 900,000. Crivello got out of the way, and Carrel moved all in for his remaining 1,770,000. Greenblatt instantly called, and the cards were tabled.

Greenblatt: {a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}
Carrel: {k-Spades}{k-Diamonds}

Carrel found himself in a poker player's nightmare and needing to hit one of two outs in the deck. The flop came {q-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{7-Hearts}, and Greenblatt was still out in front with the best two pair. The turn was the {8-Hearts}, and the river was the {3-Clubs}, providing no help to Carrel.

Carrel wished everyone at the table good luck and stepped aside for an interview before exiting the Brasilia Room for the last time this summer.
