Jim Carroll won the 2008 Winstar River Poker Series Main Event for $700,000 and pointed out that he was seated with another former winner, Aaron Massey (2012).

He also said that tablemate Andy Philachack is the 2017 winner, picking him to win the tournament this weekend. Meanwhile, Matthew Lapossie was busy knocking out Bryan Campanello to break 120,000 just entering level six. Campanello has reentered, but busted to Lapossie on his first bullet after he four-bet shoved {k-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}.

Carroll opened the action to 800 and Lapossie three-bet to 2,100. The player to Lapossie's left called and Campanello shoved for 12,850. Carroll folded and Lapossie called after getting a count. The player to his left folded.

Lapossie was ahead with {a-Spades}{q-Clubs} against the {k-Diamonds}{j-Hearts} of Campanello. Lapossie flopped a queen and won the pot.
