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.
