Casey Carroll in middle position raised to 1,300,000. The player in the cutoff three-bet to 3,250,000 and Carroll called.
The dealer revealed the first three cards as they came 5♣10♠9♦. Carroll checked and the cutoff continued for 2,400,000. Carroll responded with a check-raise shoving all in the remainder of his stack. The original raiser folded.
As the pot was pushed toward Carroll, he flipped over 9♠9♥ to show a flopped set.
