Cartillier Takes Control

Mickael Cartillier
Mickael Cartillier
Mickael Cartillier has just earned himself a spot atop the leaderboard early on in the seventh level of today's play.

On a board showing {4-Spades} {J-Spades} {Q-Spades} {J-Hearts}, Cartillier bet 5,000 after his lone opponent passed the first option. The bet was called and the {K-Clubs} popped off on fifth street.

Another check gave Cartillier the green light to fire and fire he did, tossing 12,000 chips into the middle. His opponent tanked for a solid minute before reluctantly making the call and Cartillier tabled a pocket pair of kings for a rivered full house. His opponent mucked his cards in disgust.

After the hand, Cartillier stacked up ~110,000 in chips and is currently our suspected chip leader.
