Mick Carlson
Mick Carlson

Mick Carlson had just about worked his stack back to 200,000 when a player had moved all in for 16,800 and Carlson made the call.

Carlson: {a-Hearts}{q-Clubs}
Opponent: {a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}

The board came {8-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} and Carlson's opponent doubled up with Carlson slipping to 180,000.

Not too long afterwards, Scott Montgomery picked up {a-Diamonds}{a-Spades} and got it all in preflop against an opponent's {a-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}. The board didn't improve his opponent's hand and Montgomery is now up to 210,000.
