Carlton Catches on the River to Triple Up
Level 21
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Fresh off a sixth place finish in the $1,500 WSOP razz event, Everett Carlton moved all in for his remaining 173,000 from early position, and Benjamin Ector called. But Colin Robinson reraised to 400,000 from the button. Ector then moved all in over Robinson and he folded.
Carlton: A?J?
Ector: A?K?
The 5?10?8? flop did not help Carlton, and the K? on the turn seemed like it would end his day. However, one of his four outs hit the river, the Q?, and he earned the triple up with the Broadway straight. Ector won a $400,000 side pot to also come out ahead on the hand.
