Carson Snags the Lead

Russell Carson opened to 155,000 under the gun, and he found a call from Allan Bække in the big blind.

The two men saw a flop of {4-Diamonds} {2-Clubs} {3-Diamonds}, and Bække check-called a bet of 205,000. Both men checked the {8-Diamonds} on the turn, and the {5-Hearts} filled out the board. When Bække checked a third time, Carson made one last bet of 370,000. The call from Bække came rather quickly.

"Straight," said Carson, and Bække was just about to table his hand when Carson's {A-Diamonds} {6-Hearts} hit the felt. A sour look crossed Bække's face, and he decided to forgo showing down and send his cards right back into the muck instead.

Carson's straight to the six earns him that big pot and the chip lead, dropping Bække down into third place.

Carson - 4.885
Bække - 4.095
