Carr Rakes in Another Pot

The general consensus seems to be that Paul Carr is the weaker, or least experienced at least, of the three. However, today, he has his opponent's tied up in knots, and whether it's luck or excellent timing, everything he does seems to turn to gold.

His lines are very unusual, bet they're working. On the last hand, Carr defended his big blind to a 112,000 button raise from James Mitchell on the button before checking the {2-Clubs}{K-Clubs}{8-Clubs} flop. Mitchell checked behind.

Carr once again checked the {10-Spades} turn, but Mitchell reached for chips, putting in 140,000. Carr called.

On the {2-Hearts} river, Carr turned aggressor, sliding a massive 500,000 across the line.

Mitchell looked perplexed, and deliberated for a good couple of minutes. Carr, meanwhile, looked as cool as the Fonz in the breeze, staring his opponent down as if he didn't have a care in the world.

In the end, Mitchell released his hand and Carr took down yet another big pot, much to the joy and elation of his ever-increasing rail.
