Lucky man

Russell Carson raised to 260,000 on the button and Allan Bække raised to 1,000,000 from the big blind. Carson shoved and Bække called. Hands face up please!

Carson: {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

{K-Clubs}

Bække:

{5-Diamonds}

{5-Spades}

The flop was thrilling, coming out {3-Clubs}

{3-Clubs}

{2-Clubs}

{7-Hearts}

and making Carson a slight favorite to win the hand. It was nearly over on the {K-Spades}

{K-Spades}

turn when Carson paired up, leaving Bække just one out to end the tournament. Instead, the {Q-Clubs}

{Q-Clubs}

hit the river and Carson doubled up to 6.6 million.
