"That Was More Fun to Lose Than to Win"

Level 12 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

Dan Smith defended his big blind against a raise by Charlie Carrel and checked the {Q-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{3-Hearts} flop. Carrel's continuation bet saw a check-raise all in for 84,000 as follow up and Carrel quickly called.

Charlie Carrel: {K-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}
Dan Smith: {8-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}

On the {5-Spades} turn, Smith improved to a set and joked with a "bingg", which Carrel took with a smile on the face. The {3-Clubs} river was a blank and Smith doubled, Carrel then added "that was more fun to lose than to win." Despite losing this all in, Carrel is on the way up as of lately with just under half a million left.
