Carter Crippled, Eliminated by Sigua

Kevin Taylor

We missed the exact action, but we know that Rellie Sigua came in for a raise in middle position, and that Allen Carter shoved all in from the big blind. Sigua made the call, and the cards were tabled.

Sigua: {a-Clubs} {9-Spades}
Carter: {q-Hearts} {10-Clubs}

The board ran out {k-Hearts} {5-Clubs} {6-Spades} {3-Spades} {a-Spades} , and Sigua doubled while Carter was knocked down to just 3 big blinds.

Two hands later, Sigua raised to 36,000, and Brandon Riha reraised to 76,000. Carter was next to act, and he shoved the rest of his 53,000 in the middle. Sigua called Riha's raise, and Carter was at risk while Sigua and Riha would play for a side pot. The flop came out {k-Diamonds} {7-Clubs} {9-Clubs} , and both players checked. The turn came the {2-Spades} , and Sigua fired out 50,000. Riha called, and the river brought the {j-Diamonds} . This time, Sigua bet out 105,000, and Riha wasted little time in calling. Sigua flipped over {7-Diamonds} {7-Spades} for a set, and Riha mucked. Carter showed {j-Hearts} {4-Hearts} , and headed for the rail.
