Carden Scores Another Elimination
Level 18
: 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
According to the players, action started with Jin Kim opening from the cutoff. Marco Johnson had a stack of around 180,000 and went all in on the button. Joseph Carden was in the small blind and re-shoved. Kim folded.
Marco Johnson: K♠Q♣
Joseph Carden: J♥J♠
The flop Q♥8♦J♦ gave Johnson a queen, but Carden a set and had Johnson drawing very thin.
The turn and river were 9♣ and Q♦ respectively, Johnson made trip queens but was still sent to the rail.
This continues an excellent start of Day 2 for Carden, who started the day with just 157,000 chips or around 15 big blinds, but has won three all-in pots, including a three-way all in shortly before this hand. He has now climbed up to over 900,000 or 75 big blinds.
