Becker Flops The Nuts; Carroll Rivers the Nuts
Level 18
: 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
James Carroll raised from early position to 25,000, and when action folded to the big blind Jeremy Becker, he elected to make the call.
The flop came 5♠4♠3♥ and Becker led out for a bet of 25,000. Carroll made the call to see a turn.
The turn was the 6♦ and Becker once again bet out, this time 55,000, which Carroll called to see a river.
On the river was the J♠ and after giving it some thought, Becker went all in for 210,000. Carrol snap called and tabled A♠8♠ for the nut flush. Becker showed down 7x6x for a flopped straight, but the rivered flush for Carroll sent Becker to the rail.
