Carmi and Albeck Flip for Piles
Level 22
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Eran Carmi raised to 70,000 in middle position and was called by Samuel Albeck in the big blind. The 5♠Q♦10♦ flop was checked by Albeck, after which Carmi continued for 125,000.
Albeck then raised to 535,000. Carmi moved in for 717,000 in response and was snapped off by Albeck, who had the covering stack.
Eran Carmi: A♦J♠5♦3♣ 
Samuel Albeck: Q♠10♥4♠4♥
Albeck's two pair was up against the flush draw and pair of Carmi. The 5♥ turn was a good one for Carmi, as it gave him trips to take a massive lead.
The 7♥ river changed nothing, and Carmi booked a huge double-up to become the table chipleader.
